A correction officer was arrested Friday after allegedly raping an inmate at a women's prison in Westchester.
Officer Rubin Garcia, of Yonkers, is under investigation for an alleged sexual encounter with a 32-year-old female inmate at the Bedford Hills Women's Correctional Facility.
Police say the Department of Corrections Special Investigations contacted state police in February to report the incident, and that there are two charges from two specific encounters.
Garcia has worked at the prison for 10 years, but has been suspended without pay since February.
Garcia was arraigned and has been released of his own recognizance.
He is due back in court Sept. 2.
