Sheriff charged with using inmates as sex slaves

Oklahoma sheriff could be sentenced to 467 years in prison if convicted

Authorities have charged a western Oklahoma sheriff with coercing and bribing female inmates so he could use them in a sex-slave operation run out of his jail.

Custer County Sheriff Mike Burgess resigned Wednesday just as state prosecutors filed 35 felony charges against him, including 14 counts of second-degree rape, seven counts of forcible oral sodomy and five counts of bribery by a public official.

Burgess, the top officer in the county of 26,000 since 1994, appeared in court Wednesday was released after posting $50,000 bail.

"We are stunned," Undersheriff Kenneth Tidwell said Thursday.

Attorney Steve Huddleston said that he has not had a chance to review all the allegations against his client, but that "Mr. Burgess is anxious to go to court and clear his name."

Among other things, Burgess is accused of having sex with a female drug court participant who was in his custody. The crimes are to have occurred between October 2005 and April 2007.

Lawsuit alleges favors for sex
A federal lawsuit filed in October claims Burgess told one drug court participant he would have her sent to prison if she didn't comply with his sexual demands.

The lawsuit, filed by 12 former inmates, alleges the sheriff's employees had them engage in wet T-shirt contests and offered cigarettes to those who would flash their breasts.

One prisoner alleged she became a jail trusty with more freedom after agreeing to perform a sex act on Burgess, but lost that status when she later refused.

Burgess also faces two counts each of sexual battery, rape by instrumentation and subornation of perjury, and one count each of engaging in a pattern of criminal offenses, indecent exposure and kidnapping.

He could be sentenced to 467 years in prison if convicted on all counts, special prosecutor James Boring said, though a lesser sentence would be more likely.

No one else from the sheriff's department appears to be implicated, Tidwell said.

"The circumstances are certainly regretful," he said.

    It goes to show that you can't even trust pubic officials. He took his power too far, and he deserves what is coming to him. All that I can say is if he is convicted, prison isn't going to be "fun" for him….bastard.

    92

    i dont' want to sound racist but white people do the most f'ed up shit.(btw Im a white chick!) White men in power have little sense of humanity. They believe they are untouchable…I have lived on both coasts and now unfortunately a fly over state of texas, and there is this bizarre sense of entitlement, arrogance born out of ignorance or just perhaps a myopic view of the world. I never could under stand how guys like this come to be, but go live in texas, okalahoma ( any fly over state) and you can see it although this doesnt account for all of them…Mr Spitzer doesnt fall into that demographic (ill have to work on my thesis more)… Burgess will go to prison and he will have a cellmate and karma will take care of this….

  93. oh my god he wuz a democrat! says – reply to this


    93

    So he's a democrat, I guess that means that all democrats are inmate abusers? C'mon. The reason why Larry Craig being an anti-gay-rights republican was important was because he ended up being secretly gay. The peccadillo conflicted with the position ("wide stance"). It's not like Burgess represents the party that's for or against against raping captive women. Both parties agree on that one, wouldn't you say?

  94. JennyLynn says – reply to this


    94

    They only need to give him a few days in a normal prison and he'd be dead. I say do that. Then no one is to blame for his death…. Any man who would do anything like this deserves the worst.
