A correction officer at Rikers Island raped a female prisoner on a bus and welcomed his co-worker to watch, a federal lawsuit alleges. The officer who witnessed the March 20 attack did not intervene in the 20-minute assault, the lawsuit claims. The guards are only identified by their last names — Figueroa and Pearson — and the woman suing did not use her name. Figueroa and Pearson had driven the woman and five male inmates from Brooklyn to Rikers that day. Figueroa pushed her down on a seat in the back of the bus. She protested and begged Figueroa to wear a condom, but he refused, the lawsuit alleges. Figueroa told the woman he “wanted to give Pearson a show.” The Department of Correction deferred comment to the Law Department. A Law Department spokesman said, “We’ll review the specific claims when we receive the suit.” |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It seems too outrageous to be true. I would think there would be video on the bus. All of the "facts" in that story are taken from the plaintiff's allegations in a federal lawsuit and cleverly worded by the author to make them sound like known facts, only adding a "the lawsuit alleges" to the end. Salacious, outrageous accusations get readership, not ethical reporting. You can allege absolutely anything in a lawsuit, and silly, outrageous false claims hoping for "go away" money are extremely common for every large jail facility. At the facility I worked in, if an inmate died in jail for any reason whatsoever, even in his sleep of natural causes, the county would settle with his next of kin for at least $50k just to not deal with the stupidity. A friend of mine was once sued in federal court for supposedly sodomizing a man with a radio antennae while he and some other deputies were placing him into a padded safety cell after he tried to hurt himself. The suit was dropped once the plaintiff's attorney got the requested surveillance video and realized his client was both a lunatic and a scam artist. If the story presented is truly credible, the civil attorney who is filing the suit should be in communication with ever investigative agency that could possibly have jurisdiction over the alleged crime, and if the claim is credible the FBI will pursue civil rights violation charges even if it goes nowhere in state court. The fact that the article doesn't mention a corresponding criminal inquiry sets my BS detector off. |

A number of people have posted in various threads that their initial reaction to Louima was disbelief, just like those who's initial reaction here is disbelief. I am not commenting on the technicalities of who is bringing what kind of charges or suits before which venue. I don't think most of the people expressing disbelief in this thread are taking that angle, merely saying that the idea of one prison guard raping an inmate in front of another stretches credulity. And I find that alleged act to be very believable. |

She got to wherever she was headed and sung...tardo is now serving 30+ years (no possibility of consent with a prisoner so ,armed sexual assault, among other charges) I also worked with a guy who was transporting a van full of inmates, was accused of raping one dude, within an hour IA was there, ..he had to give them his underwear, like rfn.. pretty embarrassing with nothing but a arrested guy's word to have to give up your boxers in the booking area and be under investigation for several months (ya, he was paid the whole time) turned out guy was lying..shocking seen it go both ways |

Wow you guys are ready to lynch the guy with just the strength of a news story alone...
This type of allegation is routine in law enforcement and is usually an attempt to get some go away money (usually 10-15k) 
One other thing about bashing CO's by active/former cops etc.... I have known of cops that have been jailed for everything from child porn, drug dealing to everyday stick-ups. As far as on the job misconduct there have been many very public cases of NYPD Officers raping, killing, robbing, molesting and drug dealing while on duty.
Every job and profession has its mutts. Other than those being held by the population here in GD, we know they all work in professions where everyone's an angel

No sexual act between a guard and an inmate is considered consensual because of the authority and power the guard has over the inmate. Kinda like a 25 yo teacher with a 15 yo student. If this guy did anything with her, he's screwed when he gets to court. |
