A contracted employee with the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office was terminated and then arrested by the Criminal Investigation Division on Thursday sexual assault by a person with supervisory authority, according to a Thursday press release.

The involved employee, Victoria Brown-Harris, was fraternizing with an inmate that worked for her and it was found that there was sexual contact made on the property of the Chatham County Detention Center.

“I do not tolerate officer misconduct, especially when that misconduct involves fraternizing with an inmate,” said Sheriff John Wilcher said in a press release. “I expect the utmost professionalism from all of my employees and I hold the trust of this organization as the most valuable thing we possess in this community. I am saddened by the actions of this former employee and I hope that our quick response to these allegations demonstrate how seriously we take such offenses.”

Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Brittany Denney said Brown-Harris worked with Summit Food Service, the group contracted to provide food services for the jail.

CCSO did not release any other information on the arrest.
