A federal correctional officer has been convicted of sexually abusing two inmates at a women's prison in Dublin where the warden and other employees were charged with similar conduct.
OAKLAND -- A former federal correctional officer was convicted Monday of sexually abusing two inmates at a women's prison in California where the warden and other employees were charged with similar conduct.
A jury found the officer, John Russell Bellhouse, guilty on five counts of sexual abuse for incidents involving the two women between 2019 and 2020 at FCI Dublin."My clients feel heard," Jessica Pride, an attorney for the victims, told a local television station."Regardless of a prisoner's crime, sexual assault is not part of their punishment."
Prosecutors alleged in court documents that Bellhouse"began to express an interest in a particular female inmate and started calling the inmate his 'girlfriend'" in 2020. Authorities said he inappropriately touched the woman and that she performed oral sex on Bellhouse twice in the prison's safety office.Prosecutors said Bellhouse allowed one woman to use an office phone — a violation of Bureau of Prisons policy — and also gave her earrings.
