A former medical staffer at a now-shuttered federal women’s prison in California has been sentenced, marking the final criminal case tied to what authorities describe as thelargest sexual abuse scandal ever uncoveredinside a US federal prison system.
US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers on Friday ordered Jeffrey Wilson, 32, of Eureka, to serve 4.3 years behind bars after he admitted to sexually abusing an incarcerated woman at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin,Fox’s KTVU reported.
The facility, located east of Oakland, once widely known among inmates as a “rape club,”was closed in 2024following years of misconduct allegations involving staff.
Wilson’s sentencing brings closure to the criminal prosecutions involving 10 former employees from FCI Dublin accused of sex crimes against inmates.
Prosecutors have not indicated any additional charges are forthcoming, particularly since the prison has been shuttered for nearly two years.
Wilson pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual abuse of a ward involving a woman identified in court records as “C.S.”
The charges stem from incidents in 2021 and 2022, including multiple acts of oral sex while Wilson worked as a medical technician at the facility.
“Many of these women were emotionally damaged,” Gonzalez Rogers said. “And yet men like you take advantage of that. I find that offensive and illegal.”
While not the most high-profile figure in the scandal, Wilson’s case is significant as the last to be adjudicated.
Former warden Ray Garcia, previously convicted of abusing three inmates, received nearly a six-year prison sentence in 2023.
