Christopher Jackson, a guard at the Milwaukee Women's Correctional Center in Milwaukee's north side, has been charged with half a dozen counts of 2nd degree sexual assault. 5 of these counts allege that Jackson, 44, abused his authority by having sex with an inmate, and the last count alleges that Jackson used force. Each count is a Class B felony punishable by up to 40 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
The victim told investigators that Jackson, who supervised her work duties, first approached her in February of 2008 in the basement of the correctional center, at 615 W. Keefe Ave., which is run by the state Department of Corrections. The woman said Jackson's contacts with her escalated from indecently touching to other sexual acts, some in vans off of the center grounds.
After several contacts, the woman said, she began to resist Jackson's advances in September of 2008 and he began writing her up for various actions. She said she was afraid to report the allegations earlier because of threats he had made for removing privileges and interfering with her ability to be released from the center, according to the complaint.
The victim's complaint stated that she"was very frightened of the threats and the power and authority that Jackson had over her." Jackson is currently being held on $50,000 bail in the Milwaukee County Jail.
