(KNZA)--A former corrections officer at the Lansing Correctional Facility has been sentenced to three years of probation for having unlawful sexual relations with an inmate.
47-year-old Melinda Trusty, of Lansing, was sentenced Wednesday in Leavenworth County District Court.
Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson told the Leavenworth Times Trusty was working at the Lansing prison in 2012, when prison officials noticed letters going to an inmate that seemed to be coming from a staff member.
Trusty fell under suspicion. She was interviewed in November 2012, and reportedly admitted to having a sexual relationship with the inmate. Trusty was fired from the prison.
She pleaded no contest in January to the unlawful sexual relations charge.
