A Montgomery man is in the Elmore County Jail just yards away from where he worked as a corrections officer days earlier.
Alabama Department of Corrections Sgt. Laquentin Brantley, 34, of Montgomery, was arrested Thursday and charged with custodial sexual conduct and first-degree sodomy.
Brantley is accused of coercing an inmate at Tutwiler Prison for Women to perform sex acts.
ADOC investigators spoke with an inmate on Oct. 25 at Tutwiler.
“...Brantley coerced her to perform oral sex on him by threat of writing her up for disciplinaries any time he felt like it to keep her from getting out of prison and going home to her kids,” court documents state.
The inmate was wearing a tank top during an encounter and Brantley requested to see her breasts. Court documents state Brantley fondled the inmate.
“A little later on, Brantley returned and had (the inmate) perform oral sex on him,” court documents state.
According to Alabama state law, a prisoner cannot consent to sexual contact with an officer.
Brantley is being held in the Elmore County Jail with no bond available to him pending an Aniah’s Law hearing.
