A prison guard is due to face court today (Wednesday 23 June, 2021) accused of inappropriate sexual behaviour towards a female employee at a gaol in the Hunter region.
Detectives from the Robbery and Serious Crime Squad commenced an investigation last month following a referral from the correctional facility.
They arrested a 59-year-old man at his Lake Macquarie home on Friday June 4 and charged him with two counts of common assault and incite other to do sexual act with them without consent.
Police will allege the man attempted to instigate sexual activity with a female colleague in April and inappropriately touched her on a number of occasions.
He's been granted strict conditional bail to appear at Cessnock Court.
The man has been suspended by Corrective Services NSW.
