KING COUNTY - First, it was allegations of sexual abuse by guards inside the King County Jail.
Now, we're hearing reports guards traded chocolate for sex.
And, there are allegations of drugs and alcohol for sex as well.
Three King County jailers are suspended; each under investigation for sexual misconduct inside the jail's walls.
The suspensions come after a female inmate told police one jailer forced her to have oral sex in the recreation room. She also accused another jailer of inappropriately touching her and taking a photo of her naked breast.
Investigators searched both guard's lockers, And according to court papers, inside one locker were numerous photos of nude women and "stacks" of sexually explicit letters written by female inmates.
And that's not all.
According to the court documents, two inmates claim two jail guards offered them marijuana and tequila in exchange for a show -- they thought that meant a sex act. And published reports allege those same guards offered the inmates candy bars for sex.
"Any compensation for sex, whether it's favors, candy, or money even outside the jail, is against the law, it's prostitution," says King County Sheriff's Office Spokesman John Urquhart.
Urquhart says he can't confirm if allegations of chocolate for sex are real. He told me he doesn't know.
All he will say is that investigators are now casting a bigger net.
"The investigation is expanding, but at this point we don't know how many other people are involved or if they're involved together," says Urquhart.
The Seattle Times quotes an unnamed source who's fingered five more guards involved in what appears to be a possible jail house sex ring. But, Urquhart is skeptical.
"I don't care how well the Seattle Times or newspaper outlet verifies what they're saying, if someone doesn't want to go on the record, then I'm very suspicious and I don't like it," says Urquhart.
Three guards are suspended pending the investigation. The case has been forwarded to the prosecutor's office, who got the OK from a judge to put a recording device on the female inmate to record conversations between her and the guards.

Changing the rules in the middle of the game is a woman's prerogative. You should know that. :-)
Confusion as a means of self-preservation? :-)
I think they make them bathe in prison.
Now who's the one not playing fair??

I know and I'm sorry. :-(
And unfortunately, I need to get going. Have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow sometime when I have the opportunity. :-)
Have a good night!!

I'd say a good steak maybe, but not chocolate! ;o)
I only remember Dice Clay's ethipian jokes. Or was that Sam Kinnison?
Damn, I live in Pierce County!
Side note: I guess my 7-11 coffee and Vienna Sausages didn't work! ;o)
At least they didn't say anything about a "tongue lashing"!
Sam Kinison told the Ethiopian jokes,
Don't send them food - send them luggage!
Move the !@#$ out of the desert, nothing grows in the !@#$ desert!!!
