Former Jailer Given 1 Year in Prison For Inmate Sexual Abuse
A former Saline County jailer was sentenced Monday to a year and a day in federal prison for sexually abusing an inmate.
Monty Roesler, 62, of Beatrice, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a ward. He will also serve five years of supervised release.
Prosecutors said Roesler had sexual contact several times with a federal prisoner being held in the county jail in Wilber. He also was bringing contraband into the jail to ensure her silence, which is a crime, the Lincoln Journal-Star reported.
Tim Noerrlinger, Roesler’s attorney, asked for probation, noting that Roesler previously had a limited criminal record.
The woman has sued Roesler, Saline County and Sheriff Alan Moore in federal court.
Roesler was ordered to report for his sentence Dec. 15.
