Following a five-day trial before Superior Court Judge Joseph A. Montalbano, Collins Umoh, 44, of Warwick, was found guilty on Thursday of three counts of criminal segxwal conduct with an inmate under his direct custodial supervision between 2017 and 2018, according to a statement from the office of Attorney General Peter F. Neronha.
Four more offenses that were later dismissed prevented the state from pursuing them, according to Brian Hodge, the office's spokesman. He declined to say anything more.
Umoh had been a corrections officer for 11 years at the time of his arrest in May 2019. Authorities at the time accused him of having sex with three women housed in the Gloria McDonald Correctional Facility between July 2017 and August 2018
“This agency has no higher priority than running safe, secure and constitutional facilities, and the protection of ACI inmates from segxwal misconduct is something we take particularly seriously," Patricia A. Coyne-Fague, director of the state Department of Corrections, said in an email at the time of his arrest. "Anyone involved in segxwal misconduct will face significant consequences.”
Assistant Attorney General Daniel Carr Guglielmo prosecuted the case, with State Police Detective Herb Tilson leading the investigation with the assistance of the Department of Corrections Office of Inspections.
Umoh is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 15. The charges are punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a fine of $10,000.
Umoh's lawyer, Stefanie Murphy, could not be reached immediately for comment.
