Las acusaciones de abuso sexual a través de las cárceles del país están en aumento, con casi la mitad de los casos presuntamente perpetrada por guardias, according to a new estudio conducted by the Justice Department.
La nueva Oficina de Estadísticas Judiciales informe documentó más de 8,763 denuncias de prisioneros victimización sexual entre 2009 y 2011, which they say is an 11 percent increase over the number of allegations documented in a report covering 2007-08.
The study found 49 percent of the unwanted sexual misconduct or harassment involved prison staff as perpetrators, in acts ranging from verbal sexual harassment to the most serious nonconsensual sexual penetration.
Allen Beck, a Justice Department statistician and the study’s co-author told ABC News the increased reporting may not necessarily a reflection of an actual increase in the incidence of sexual victimization, but could in part be attributed to the Prison Rape Elimination Act (2003), which is being implemented across the country after final regulations for the act were issued in May 2012.
