On Tuesday, 32-year-old Eric Todd Ellis of Birmingham, Alabama, was sentenced in federal court after he pleaded guilty to one count of sexual abuse of an inmate and one count of tampering with a witness.

A former Bureau of Prisons corrections officer will spend the next 18 months in prison for sexually abusing an inmate.

According to court documents, in June 2020, Ellis purposely engaged in a sexual act with a female inmate in the back of a laundry room. When the sexual act occurred, Ellis was on duty while the female inmate was detained and under Ellis' custodial authority. After the sexual act took place, Ellis admitted his wrongdoing to another corrections officer.

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said in a press release that no authoritative figure in prison is above the law.
