PASCAGOULA - A former employee of the Mississippi Department of Corrections has been placed on five years probation for engaging in sex with a prisoner he once supervised, court records show.
Sanchez Turner, 39, pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful sexual activity earlier this year.
Circuit Court Judge Kathy King Jackson later imposed the sentence and ordered Turner to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
According to court records, Turner admitted to having “sex with a probationer” who was under house arrest at the time as part of MDOC’s Intensive Supervision Program.
The incidents occurred, records show, on two separate occasions in June 2009.
