GOUVERNEUR, St. Lawrence County ââ¬â State police have arrested two female civilian employees at a state prison in northern New York and charged them with raping several male inmates.
Laura Douglass of Potsdam faces charges of third-degree rape, third-degree criminal sexual act, and first-degree promoting prison contraband. Lisa Vaughn of Carthage is charged with third-degree rape, third-degree criminal sexual act, official misconduct, and second-degree promoting prison contraband.
The 38-year-old Douglass worked in the commissary at Gouverneur Correctional Facility and 41-one-year-old Vaughn was laundry supervisor.
Investigators say both women face rape charges because under state law, inmates are incapable of giving consent.
Jail officials did not know if the women have lawyers.
