Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A woman who works at a Bronx juvenile detention center was arrested and fired from her job last week on charges of having sex with an 18-year-old detainee, court records show.
Prosecutors say video surveillance shows Robinson and the male teen engaged in a sexual act inside Horizon Juvenile Detention in the South Bronx at roughly 4 a.m. on Friday, the day she was arrested. Court records say the teen was deemed legally incapable of consent due to his status as an inmate, rather than his age.
, staffers at the centers described a tightly protected network of workers who smuggle in drugs and weapons for the teens and young adults. Unlike correction officers in adult jails, youth development specialists in the ACS facilities do not carry handcuffs and are not armed. The agency says they are hired to “serve as a role model, mentor and guide” for detainees.
