Collins Umoh, a Nigerian, was found guilty of a sexual offence in the US by a jury.

The jury found corrections officer Umoh guilty of having sex with three female detainees over a two-year period. Umoh worked at the Adult Correctional Institution in the US.
The 44-year-old was found guilty on three counts of sexual misconduct, according to a statement released on Monday by the office of Warwick Attorney General Peter F. Neronha.

“Collins Umoh was convicted for criminal sexual conduct with an inmate under his direct custodial supervision between 2017 and 2018 after a five day trial before Superior Court Judge Joseph A. Montalbano, which ended on Friday,” the statement read.

However, the state was unable to proceed with four additional counts and they were subsequently dismissed.

Umoh, who had been a corrections officer for 11 years at the time of his arrest in May 2019, was accused of having sex with three women housed in the Gloria McDonald Correctional Facility between July 2017 and August 2018.

The Akwa Ibom indigene is scheduled to be sentenced on December 15, and will spend up to five years in prison plus a fine of $10,000.
