LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors say a guard at the federal jail in downtown Los Angeles has been arrested on suspicion of lying to investigators about having sex with an inmate. A federal grand jury indictment charges the 53-year-old with one count of making false statements. During interviews with investigators, he allegedly made a series of false statements, including that he “never” had sexual contact with the inmate who was under his care at the Metropolitan Detention Center. If convicted, he would face a statutory maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
