NEWBERRY, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina authorities say a former jail guard is accused of having sex with a jail inmate 15 years ago.
The State Law Enforcement Division says the inmate came to Newberry County deputies in August, saying 41-year-old Rebecca Adams had sex with him in 2003 when she was a guard and he was a state prison trusty staying at the Newberry County jail.
A sworn statement from a SLED agent says a fellow inmate confirmed the sexual relationship. It notes that after the inmate was moved to another jail, Adams was on his visitors list.
