Three Sierra County Detention Center jail guards are facing charges they harassed and threatened female inmates into having sex with them.
KOB-TV reports a criminal complaints filed Thursday says 38-year-old Virgil Eaton, 22-year-old Miguel Herrera and 23-year-old Joshua Corley had sex with inmates and harassed them in spots hidden from security cameras at the Truth or Consequences jail.
According to the complaint, Eaton sought oral sex from inmates in exchange for prescription pills, and in one case, told an inmate he would get her charges dismissed if she had sex with him.
Documents say Corley and Herrera had separate sexual encounters with inmates both in and out of jail.
All three face criminal sexual penetration and other charges.
It was not known if the men had attorneys.
