BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A former guard at a federal prison in Connecticut has been sentenced to 10 months behind bars himself for twice having sex with an inmate.
Prosecutors say 33-year-old Carlos Sanchez, of Middlebury, was also sentenced Monday to five years of probation.
Sanchez pleaded guilty in December to sexual abuse of a ward.
Prosecutors say he was a correctional officer at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury who on two occasions last July and August engaged in sexual activity with a female inmate.
Sanchez was released on a $50,000 bond and is required to report to prison on May 21.
