In May of last year, a guard had sex with a female detainee at the T. Don Hutto Residential Center.
Federal law criminalizes sex between detained inmates and guards, regardless of whether the relations are consensual. However, the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, an agency under the Department of Homeland Security, falls within a loophole, only recently fixed through Congressional action, that prevented the prosecution of the guard.
