The results of the internal review represents fresh embarrassment for an agency still reeling from the institutional failures cited in the suicide of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
WASHINGTON–An assistant director of the federal prison system engaged in a sexual and financial relationship with a top prison union executive that included transmitting explicit photographs from the director's agency phone to the union official, an internal Justice Department review concluded Tuesday.
Investigators concluded that Garrett's relationship with Young was not only inappropriate but"a conflict of interest in violation of federal regulations and BOP policy." "The BOP will take appropriate actions in response to the findings," the agency said in a statement, declining to indicate whether the official remained employed by the agency.
The inspector general's review represents fresh embarrassment for an agency still reeling from the institutional failures cited in the suicide of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. At the time of his death, Epstein, 66, was awaiting trial following his indictment on charges of sex trafficking and sex-trafficking conspiracy. Federal prosecutors alleged that he"sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes" in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida, and at other locations from 2002-2005.
