“I got the call late at night by the victim’s family member and we took action that same night,” said JWC Sheriff Oscar Lopez. “I called (Asst. Chief Deputy Brandon Torres) and we started the open investigation.”

The victim, whose in her 30s, told a family member during visitation hours that Sgt. Ryan Raymond entered her cell, groped and kissed her, officials stated.

There are numerous cameras installed throughout the facility to ensure the safety of inmates and jailers, Torres stated.

“We were able to review our (footage) and saw the jailer enter the inmate’s cell alone which is against our policy,” he said.

The jail’s policy states jailers may not enter any prisoner’s cell alone. There must be two jailers with the exception of a medical emergency.
