The Department of Homeland Security has released a report saying no evidence of sexual abuse and harassment was found at a South Texas immigration lockup that houses women and children.
The agency's inspector general launched the investigation after a woman being held at the facility in Karnes City reported that she'd heard rumors about women being removed from their cells at night to have sex with guards in the laundry room.
The report released Friday says the women interviewed by investigators denied engaging in any sexual activity with the guards. The women also said they received no preferential treatment in exchange for sexual favors.
A review of 360 hours of surveillance video footage from the laundry room also failed to show any of the women being escorted there after hours.
