MILWAUKEE
An officer at the Milwaukee County House of Corrections is accused of sexually assaulting two female prisoners in their cells.
The complaint filed yesterday charges 28-year-old James Howard with two counts of second-degree sexual assault of an inmate by a correctional officer and two counts of third-degree sexual assault.
Both of the women are being held in custody while awaiting trial in felony cases.
They told authorities the assaults happened last Saturday. In both cases, they alleged the officer first approached the cell and slid a suggestive note under the door, then returned a short time later and committed the assault.
A preliminary hearing for Howard is scheduled next Thursday.
