Pat Riotic sends me this interesting item:
A 20-year-old female corrections officer is facing sex assault charges for allegedly performing oral sex on a male inmate on New Year’s Eve in an Oklahoma jail. Billie Pelley told investigators that she entered inmate Bobby Mann’s cell and began kissing the 37-year-old inmate “for a while.” She then advanced to servicing Mann, but “stopped after thinking about what she was doing” . . . .
Pelley was charged last week with forcible sodomy, a felony, since Mann was not legally “capable of giving legal consent” because he is in custody. Prosecutors concede, however, that Mann, not surprisingly, consented to the oral sex.
There’s a lot to discuss here, including the very sexist proposition that because the inmate is a guy, it’s not surprising that he consented.
Having said that, though, I think the more solid legal ground for complaint is that since the corrections first initiated then ceased to service the inmate, this falls under the definition of “cruel and unusual punishment.” (* It’s the new man bites dog)
What’s your take?

While I agree it’s cruel there is certainly nothing unusual about that.
I dunno. A woman starting, but not finishing, isn’t all that unusual. Is it?
Having worked at a jail for 30 years I can tell you that personal hygiene was never a high priority for inmates. I can only assume that she was a cheese fancier.
I dunno. But its predictable that those who once demanded prosecution of the Duke 3 regardless of whether or not a crime actually took place will have some interesting opinions about this.
Women will undoubtedly argue for a double standard. We can’t have women being held responsible for their sexual behavior, now can we?
– She probably stopped because spiting gets you a month in the “box”.
– Me, I’d focus on potential staff jealousy. Scuttlebutt has it her last “meeting” with the warden did not go well.
Shame on her. Any “job” worth doing, is a “job” worth doing right!
“What’s your take?”
Can’t really say without knowing what she looked like.
Obviously she was being mean.
Scape-Goat . . .
Scroll down at The Smoking Gun.
What’s more . . . I think that by publicizing this as sodomy performed on a man by a woman, the MSM is essentially sodomizing him all over again.
Which would kind of peg the ol’ irony meter, IYKWIM.
Is that what datadave looks like ?
I believe that’s the state and not the MSM, Dan. Which makes your point slightly more troubling. But I’ve gotta say, they look made for each other. Look what Mary Kay Letourneau went through for love!
How is it a blow job becomes sodomy all of a sudden? Sodomy hurts, fellatio doesn’t. Ha ha ha, my spellchecker doesn’t know fellatio. Learn spellcecker, learn.
Well, after reading the charges I’m rather frightened by this line:
“…by engaging in the penetration of the penis of Bobby Mann with her mouth…”
I mean, ouch. Give her the chair.
