NEW YORK – A former corrections officer assigned to the Federal Correctional Institute in Otisville has been indicted on three counts of sexual abuse of an inmate for engaging in sexual acts with an inmate he was responsible for guarding.
The unsealed indictment charges Kyle Brown, 27, of Newburgh, with three counts of sexual abuse of a ward, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison if convicted.
It was alleged that on three occasions between December 26, 2025 and April 4, 2026, Brown engaged in deviant sexual activity with an inmate at Otisville Correctional, over whom Brown had authority.
“The allegations in the case represent a profound abuse of authority and a betrayal of public trust,” said Bureau of Prisons Director William Marshall III. “Anyone who exploits their position of authority disgraces this profession and has no place in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Working alongside our law enforcement partners, we will pursue anyone who violates the law and ensure they are held accountable.”
