"A Knox County jailer who resigned last week is charged with 43 counts of rape, sexual battery, observation without consent and official misconduct. When confronted July 26 with the allegations, Ellis resigned. . . Ellis wrote he was resigning "due to personal reasons."
As if this isn’t bad enough, yet another jail supervisor is on administrative leave due to mis-sexual-conduct.
He checked a woman out of jail for a dental visit and then detoured to a motel room where he was caught by the deputies who followed him. But get this, authorities aren’t sure he committed a crime because when he checked the woman out of jail he was “acting as a friend, not a jailer.” (!)
"Cpl. Boyce E. Phipps II was placed on leave July 21 after he was caught in a Blount County motel room with a 27-year-old female inmate. The inmate, Mary Elizabeth Wolfenbarger Martin, had been checked out of the Blount County Jail by Phipps to attend a dental appointment in Lenoir City.
Blount County District Attorney General Mike Flynn requested the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to review the matter involving Phipps to determine if a law was violated. Phipps was off duty at the time and was acting as a friend, not a jailer, authorities said."
Good friggin Grief! So in Tennessee, “friends” can check you out of jail for a little sex at the motel. Who knew Tennessee was so liberal? Match that Massachusetts!
Only problem is this particular ‘friend’ just happens to be a jail supervisor who can make this woman’s life hell, or not.
If this is the kind of logic Tennessee ‘authorities’ are working with, well, suddenly it doesn’t seem so strange to discover that male jailers supervise women, escort them to the shower, and rape them.
Hell, maybe they don’t hire women supervisors in these jails cause they suspect they will be raped too.
Excerpt from one woman's complaint against TN jailer:
"Mr. Ellis waited till I was already undressed and taking a shower to come open the shower door to hand me my clean uniform," the inmate wrote. "I saw Mr. Ellis walk by the shower and look in 2 times before I was finished."
"When I got back to my room, he came in -- and asked me if I wanted a rub down."
The inmate wrote that Ellis left her cell for a while but returned and lifted her shirt and fondled her breasts. "I backed away because I wasn’t sure what to say," she wrote.
Ellis again left her room but returned later. This time, the inmate wrote, Ellis exposed himself. She wrote that Ellis then "grabbed the back of my head and forced me to perform oral sex for may (sic) 2-3 minutes." Under state law, oral sex qualifies as rape.
"After Mr. Ellis shut my door back, he came back a few times and made gestures through the opening in my door, by sticking out his tongue," she wrote. Her last sighting of Ellis was at 2:05 p.m., she noted.
The inmate filed her complaint three days after a Sheriff’s Office jail supervisor was placed on administrative leave because of allegations of misconduct with another inmate."
