Pregnant Guard Had Affair With Cop Killer

A female prison guard in New York has been charged with sexually abusing a convicted killer whose child she is carrying.

A visibly-pregnant Nancy Gonzalez appeared briefly in court before a judge in Brooklyn before being released on bail.

Inmates cannot legally consent to sex. The 29-year-old faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Ms Gonzalez, who worked the night shift at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Centre, was accused of having a four-month affair with Ronell Wilson that ended last August.

Wilson was convicted for the 2003 murder of two New York City police officers.

1. It was a dumb thing to do on so many levels. I hope, however,

she doesn't get jail time. She will (or already has) lost her job and now if she is keeping the baby let that baby have a mother. She made a bad decision but 15 years in prison is not the answer for this.

2. Equality under the law demands it.

Reverse the genders of guard and prisoner and see if the argument still makes sense.

6. That's a very good point.

It's not as if she didn't know the rules.

4. She was wrong, and now she'll have to pay.

Bad idea, Ms. Gonzalez.

5. She will forfeit all benefits also....unfortunately the tragic life defense won't work.

7. A prison guard coerces an inmate into sex?

The guard needs to be sent to prison for this.
