Re: Official Misconduct

I would need a lot more information before I can give you a definite answer to this question. In general though, if the only thing involved here is that the correctional officer had a sexual encounter with a prisoner, it would seem that based on solely those facts that only the correctional officer would be subject to any criminal charges. Please call me at 908-272-0111 to discuss this in more detail. It does not cost anything to simply discuss a case with me. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
