MASON CITY – NIT continues to look into allegations that there was inappropriate activities between a Cerro Gordo county jailer and a female inmate, and learned today that an investigation into the matter has been mostly concluded.
NorthIowaToday.com reported in July that Cerro Gordo county sheriff Kevin Pals would neither confirm nor deny that there had been certain activities that had taken place at the law enforcement center (LEC) between a male jailer and a long-time female inmate. Sheriff Kevin Pals last month told NIT he “Can’t respond at this time.”
Today, however, as NIT continued to seek answers and shed light into the matter, Sheriff Pals confirmed that an internal investigation as well as an investigation by Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) has been completed.
“The DCI found no basis for charges,” Sheriff Pals said.
However, an internal investigation led to the matter being dealt with “internally”, Sheriff Pals said.
In addition, the county attorney is also reviewing the matter, and charges could be brought from that office once that investigation is completed.
When pressed for clarity as to whether there had been sexual contact between a jailer and female inmate, Sheriff Pals declined to confirm or deny that detail, saying he would wait until the county attorney weighed in.
So who is it?
We won’t know until and unless the county prosecutor files a charge.
There was a jail employee that left on his own in July, and the jail administrator left for a better opportunity. Hope people get their facts straight and not spread rumors.
I heard that was a rumor.
She most likely will get off Scott free because the system of investigators are the socialistic types. They like her and want to protect her because they don’t give them problems. Trump will give them problem!! Haha !!! Trump for President make America great again!!! Get rid of these low life morons !!
I think the whole situation just indicates how things in this country are heading too. They want to protect the wrongdoers and scumbags in the system. This is what gives me a bad taste in my mouth and little respect for these guys. Things like this that happen. Similar situation with the Clinton emails. She will most likely c
“The DCI found no basis for charges,” Sheriff Pals said. So how is the county attorney going to file charges when the DCI says this??? Defense attorney would love a witness like the DCI to testify that they couldn’t find any reason to file a charge.
If the county attorney is looking into it nothing will happen. They won’t do anything that causes them to have to work a little.
