On the witness stand, the woman said she was excited about the getting the meal because she had been in jail for more than seven months.

“Had I known he was going to try to have sex with me,” she said, “I would have turned it down from the beginning.”

Surveillance video from the jail showed Jones moving the woman from one cell to another, bringing her lunch and reaching his arm through an open cell door.

In court last week, Jones’ lawyer Charles Billings suggested the woman’s claims were aimed at cashing in through a civil lawsuit she filed in 2017 against Jones, the city and sheriff’s officials. Billings presented deposition testimony from the woman’s cellmate, who said the woman later discussed filing a lawsuit and possibly splitting the money.

“That’s what I felt, she sensed an opportunity,” the cellmate said, according to a deposition transcript.

The woman later pleaded guilty to robbing a clothing store clerk at knifepoint in 2016. She was sentenced to probation for the crime.

In her suit, which was later moved to federal court, the woman claimed other jail staffers provided inmates cigarettes and food for sex.
