Tina Gonzalez, a former correctional officer assigned to the Fresno County jail is now in jail as a convicted felon, for allegedly having s3x with an inmate and providing him drugs and a cell phone.
According to reports, the twenty-six-year-old female prison officer was apprehended in May 2020 after findings revealed she was guilty of having s3x with an inmate in the presence of eleven other inmates.

Fresno Bee reports that Gonzalez’s former boss, Assistant Sheriff Steve McComas, told the court that he had witnessed many “pretty disgusting things” during his 26-years on the job but nothing as shocking as hearing of Gonzalez’s sex session in full view of other inmates.
“Cutting a hole in your pants to make it easier to have sex with an inmate and having intercourse in full view of 11 other inmates is something only a depraved mind could come up with,” McComas said.
“She took an oath which she betrayed and in doing so, endangered her coworkers.
It lasted more than a year before investigators caught her, and phone calls after her December 2019 arrest reveal it’s continued.
But she has shown no remorse he said “The fact that she continually calls, has sexually explicit conversations with the inmate in question, and even boasts about the crimes she carried out shows that she’s incapable of owning up to her mistakes and will undoubtedly continue in the future,” Assistant Sheriff told the court.
Gonzalez pleaded no contest in April to sexual activity by a detention facility employee with a consenting inmate, as well as possessing drugs or alcohol, and a cell phone to give to an inmate, the outlet said.
Her former boss called for her to get the maximum sentence of three years and eight months in prison. But Judge Michael Idiart refused, noting her early plea and lack of criminal history.
Gonzalez only has to serve 210 days in jail and with time credits, she could be out by the middle of October, followed by two years of probation.
“I think what you did was terrible, stupid and you have ruined your career,” Idiart told Gonzalez.
“But I also believe that people can redeem themselves and you have the rest of your life to do that. Good luck,” the judge told her.
