FBI searches California federal women's prison again amid sexual abuse probe

FBI agents searched a federal women's prison in California again amid a yearslong sexual abuse probe that has led to charges against employees, including a former warden.

More than a dozen FBI agents came to the Federal Correctional Institution at Dublin during the search Monday as they hauled off computers and documents and removed the warden, an associate warden and a captain from the facility, per The Associated Press.

The FBI confirmed that its agents were at the correctional center but did not give more details.

At least eight employees have faced charges of sexually abusing inmates. Former warden Ray Garcia was convicted in 2022 of forcing inmates to pose naked and molesting them.

Five of the employees indicted in connection to sexual abuse have pleaded guilty as of last year.
