Former Jail Employee Charged For Allegedly Having Sex With Inmate In Prison Yard

IOWA- A former jail employee has been charged after police say she had a sexual relationship with an inmate.

Investigators say that Kayla Bergom, who worked at the Tama County Jail, is accused of engaging in sexual activity with a 29-year-old inmate in a utility closet and in the recreation yard of the jail on multiple occasions, according to KCRG-TV.

The sexual encounters happened between September 2020 and April 2021.

Bergom is facing three counts of sexual misconduct.
