A federal correctional officer is accused of sexually abusing an inmate at a Brooklyn jail after his DNA was recovered from the victim’s prison jumpsuit, authorities said. James Johnson, 36, was indicted for allegedly attacking the inmate multiple times at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn in May 2025, according to court documents. Johnson, who still works for the Bureau of Prisons, was assigned to the unit guarding the inmate. The defendant would escort the prisoner to secluded parts of the jail and sexually abuse him, authorities said. More on this from Pix 11.
