A senior Corrective Services NSW officer has been charged following an investigation into the alleged assault of a female inmate at a Silverwater correctional facility.
Last month, detectives from the Robbery and Serious Crime Squad’s Corrective Services Investigation Unit established Strike Force McInne following a referral from a Silverwater correctional facility after the alleged assault of a female inmate by a senior correctional officer.
Following extensive investigations, strike force detectives arrested a 55-year-old woman at a home at Mascot about 8.15am today on Tuesday, July 6.
She was taken to Mascot Police Station and charged with ‘common assault’ and ‘intentionally choke person without consent’.
The woman, who is a senior correctional officer, was granted strict conditional bail to appear at the Downing Centre Local Court on Monday, July 26.
She has been suspended by Corrective Services NSW.
