FREEHOLD – A Monmouth County corrections officer is facing five years in prison after he was caught engaging in sexual contact with a female inmate at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution, announced Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni.
Thomas J. Mauro, 41, of Beachwood, has been charged with second degree Official Misconduct and fourth degree Criminal Sexual Contact.
If he is convicted of Official Misconduct, Mauro faces a mandatory sentence of five years in prison without parole, a lifetime ban on public employment in the State of New Jersey, and forfeiture of his benefits. If he is convicted of Criminal Sexual Contact, Mauro faces up to 18 months in state prison.
“Law enforcement officers are sworn to uphold the law in every way. As a corrections officer, Mr. Mauro exercises supervisory powers over an inmate. The conduct, as alleged, is an exploitative abuse of an officer’s sworn authority and will not be tolerated. We will continue to hold every law enforcement officer to the highest standards with no distinction between their roles in the system,” Gramiccioni said.
On April 27, 2019, Mauro was observed following a 31-year old female inmate into a staff bathroom at the correctional facility. While in the bathroom, Mauro engaged in various forms of sexual contact with the inmate before they each exited the bathroom separately.
