Rikers Jail Guard Sexually Assaulted - Captain says she could be fired for fighting back!

A female correction officer on Rikers Island was sexually assaulted by an inmate. The guard, Officer Samantha Moscoso, stated that her boss, a female Captain, told her she could be fired for fighting back, according to whats been reported by NY Ch 7 ABC News.  

The  inmate, Dexter Bell, 25, is a sex offender and was later arrested by the NYPD after the Union got involved. The Officer stated that  she was transporting Bell — who she did not know was a sex offender — when he pushed her against a railing and grab her genitals. Rivers Jail has come under scrutiny after a number of investigations have revealed an epic fail in the jail system from officers smuggling drugs to failed hiring practices. 

As for the female Captain's statement, if true, only goes to show that common sense does not exist in some of the upper level supervision at Rikers.
