There's more allegations of abuse within New Jersey's correctional facilities.

Two senior corrections officers are being charged with multiple counts each of sexual assault and official misconduct, according to Attorney General Matt Platkin today.

The officers, 53 year old Gary Neaves of Burlington City, and 35 year old William Young of Marlton, are facing criminal charges for alleged repeated sexual assault and illegal sexual contact with an 18 year old female inmate who was under their supervision.

This at the state's only female juvenile correctional facility located in Bordentown.

According to the complaint, the alleged incidents took place in shared spaces within the facility and in the victim's living quarters.

If convicted, Nieves and Young could face up to ten years in new Jersey State Prison for each sexual assault and official misconduct count.

In announcing the charges today, Attorney General Platkin said the state won't tolerate people in positions of power using their authority to abuse those in their care.

Nothing I can say today can change what's alleged to have happened to this young woman.

We cannot undo what this young woman has endured, or what she will continue to experience as a result of what is alleged to have happened.

But what we can do and what we will do, is prosecute these cases to the fullest extent of the law and work tirelessly to prevent future harms from occurring in our State facilities.
