(Stillwater, Okla.) — A former employee of the Cimarron Correctional Facility has been charged with sexually battering an inmate at the private prison in Cushing and bringing him contraband, described as a cell phone and tobacco.
Linda Juanita Bogaski, 49, of Bethany, has been advised by a letter from the Payne County District Attorney’s Office that she must appear for arraignment on the two-count charge April 24 or a warrant will be issued for her arrest.
In the two-count felony charge filed last week, Bogaski was accused of touching the body of an inmate between Christmas and New Year’s Day while she was an employee of the prison in Cushing.
Bogaski was also accused of bringing tobacco and a cell phone, which are contraband within the prison, and giving them to the inmate between Dec. 1 and Jan. 7.
If convicted of both counts, the former Cushing prison employee could be incarcerated for seven years and fined $2,500, court records show.
