Amy,
My daughter is an inmate
in the Sonoma County Jail
and is being sexually harassed
by a guard.
This guard has
exposed himself to her
and has entered her cell and
grabbed her crotch. He has
asked her to masturbate for
him in front of the window
and has threatened to write
untrue reports against her
in a threatening way. This
has been going on for a period
of 2 weeks and my daughter
is afraid to say anything
as she is trying to go to
a rehabilitation program and
negative reports can preclude
her from being accepted to
those programs.
She asked
me to contact her attorney
which I did, however, I contacted
the Sergeant and the Lieutenant
at the jail and they started
a full blown investigation
and determined that this
case should be turned over
to the internal affairs department.
I am looking for an attorney
to represent my daughter
and after reading your
answer to the question about
sexual harassment, I am wondering
what this would be classified
as. Please advise as to
what type of attorney I should
be seeking.
Thank you
