(CNN) -- The imprisoned former mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, was charged with sexual misconduct during a visit by his wife on July Fourth, according to a report released by the Michigan Bureau of Prisons.

"A correctional officer observed him touch the wife on her breast," said Russ Marlan, a spokesman for the bureau.

"All prisoners know it's against the rules," Marlan said of such contact.

The report states that a correctional officer observed via a prison video feed Kilpatrick touch his wife, Carlita Kilpatrick, on her breast with his right hand in the prison visiting room at Oaks Correctional Facility in Manistee.

If found guilty of the misconduct Kilpatrick could lose certain privileges, including a loss of visitations from his wife.

Even if his own wife didn't object? (That's what I think, as far as the article reports.) Bureaucracy's ugly head rears.
