Mr. Garcia ignored several reports from a prison lieutenant that former Corrections Officer Gary Swatzell was engaging in sexual misconduct with several inmates.
Ramos and Ortiz were repeatedly coerced into engaging in sexual acts with former Corrections Officer Gary Swatzell without their lawful consent
After one encounter, Ramos was impregnated by Swatzell and delivered a child who she is now unable to care for and raise.
