BROCKTON – A New Bedford woman has been indicted on a charge that she had sexual relations with an inmate while she worked as a corrections officer, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz has announced.
Today, a Plymouth County Grand Jury returned an indictment against 53 year-old Vicki Oliver of New Bedford, charging her with one count of Sexual Relations with an Inmate by a Corrections Officer.
