Former correctional officers Jeffrey Wilson and Lawrence Gacad were charged by federal prosecutors for their alleged sexual abuse of inmates at the now-closed Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California. They are the ninth and tenth individuals charged in a longstanding scandal at the facility, known by inmates as the 'rape club'. Wilson faces multiple counts of sexual abuse, while Gacad is charged with one count of abusive sexual contact. Both men could face significant prison time if convicted, adding to the urgency of reforming practices and accountability in prison systems.
Wilson is charged with five counts of sexual abuse of an inmate, with incidents allegedly occurring in a medical room between March and August 2022.
The latest charges highlight the years-long scandal surrounding the Dublin facility, where sexual abuse was so pervasive it earned the moniker 'rape club' among prisoners.
