A female employee at an Iowa prison has been arrested after allegedly having sex with an inmate multiple times over the course of seven months.
Kayla Bergom, 27, is facing three counts of sexual misconduct for engaging in sexual activity with the unidientified inmate, 29, while she worked at the Tama County Jail.
The fling occured between September 2020 and April 2021, and they had sex in a utility closet on at least one occasion and in the recreation yard at least twice, The Gazette reported.
Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera told The Gazette that Bergom had worked for the jail for three years prior to her resignation and was charged in May.
Her trial is set to take place on August 12. The former jail employee, who has pleaded not guilty, is facing up to six years of jail.

It’s unclear whether the inmate is still behind bars, but The Gazette reported that Bergom had sex with him several times while he was an inmate between September 2020 and April 2021.
‘Federal law makes it illegal for prison guards to have sex with incarcerated people. This is because incarcerated people cannot legally give consent,’ according to non-profit think tank Interrogating Justice.
‘If a prison guard has sex with an incarcerated person, the guard can face up to 15 years in prison,’ it added.
