NC prison guard arrested for having sex with inmate http://www.privateofficer.com
Windsor, N.C. Feb 26 2009
wavy.com – A female prison guard in Bertie County, N.C. has been criminally charged for allegedly having a sexual relationship with an inmate and getting pregnant with the inmate’s child.
Investigators with the Windsor Police Department say Tameka Mebane was on duty as a guard at the Bertie Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison in Windsor, when she had sex with the inmate, who is doing hard time for armed robbery.
Police say the guard and the inmate had sex throughout the prison, including in a break room and a closet.
“We are not supposed to be friends,” said Mebane. “But, after a while you get close to them. They are human too.”
Mebane, who has since resigned her position as a guard, admits she had a relationship with the inmate but denies that he is the father of her baby.
When asked about the identity of the father Mebane responded, “God.”
Windsor Police Sgt. Rick Morris told WAVY.com he questioned Mebane and she confessed.
“According to her, she was pregnant from the inmate. That’s what she told me,” said Sgt. Morris.
WAVY.com obtained a police report that indicates the investigation into the relationship between the guard and the inmate began last October when the inmate was caught with a cellphone and calls were traced right back to the guard, Mebane.
According to the report, police also discovered pictures of a female, they believe is the prison guard, “with only underwear on… who appeared to be pregnant…and about four months along.”
“I’m only human,” said Mebane. “Everyone makes mistakes.”
And Mebane claims she is not the only female guard at the Bertie prison who has had sexual relationships with inmates.
“I know about about seven or eight of them,” said Mebane. “They didn’t get pregnant, but they had sexual encounters with the inmates.”
Police in Windsor say that’s true. But, they say this is the first time a prison guard has been criminally charged for having sex with an inmate because this is the first time they have had enough evidence to prosecute.
Mebane remains out on bond.
