Guard Has Sexual Relations With Boot Camp Inmates: Police

A corrections officer found himself behind bars, accused of having sex with the inmates he was supposed to be guarding.

Delaware State Police announced the arrest late Monday of Christopher Peck of Felton, Del.

Police say Peck had sexual relations with three different female inmates at Sussex Correctional Institution Boot Camp Program in Georgetown.

A 19-year-old told a staff member at the prison this week that she recently had sex with Peck, according to investigators.

Police say investigators learned that he also had sexual relations with two other inmates, aged 27 and 28, on 11 occasions dating back to July.

Peck, 39, was arrested at his home and charged with 11 counts of sexual relations in a detention facility. He was held on $22,000 secured bond.

Police didn't say if he would be fired or suspended.
