DETROIT, – A former federal corrections employee pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a federal inmate.
The attack occurred on Feb. 5, 2025.
Authorities say Arthur Foster, 41, of Detroit, while serving as a corrections employee at Cherry Health Community Treatment Center, a federal residential reentry center, told an inmate to meet him in the restroom.
At the time, the inmate was under Foster’s authority.
Officials say when she arrived in the restroom, Foster sexually abused her.
Federal law and prison rules mandate a zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse, sexual assault and harassment in all U.S. correctional facilities.
“Sexual abuse by anyone, especially someone entrusted with the custody and care of inmates, is an intolerable abuse of power,” said Jennifer Runyan, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Detroit Field Office.
