LUFKIN A female East Texas jailer has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a male inmate.

The Angelina County Sheriff's Office says 40-year-old Kelly Wilson of Huntington has resigned.

Lt. Pete Cooper on Wednesday declined to release details on the inmate.

The Lufkin Daily News reports Wilson on Friday was seen at a courthouse, allegedly in support of the prisoner.

She was charged Tuesday with violating the civil rights of an inmate through improper sexual activity. Wilson was freed hours later on $5,000 bond.

Cooper had no information on an attorney for Wilson. No publicly listed phone number was available for Wilson, who faces up to two years behind bars if convicted of the state jail felony.

Texas Rangers assisted with what started as an internal affairs investigation.
