"Night of terror": 28 female inmates at Indiana jail allege sexual assault by male prisoners after guard sold cell keys, lawsuits say

Female inmates at a prison in Indiana have filed lawsuits alleging they were subjected to a "night of terror" when a guard sold keys to their cells to male prisoners who sexually assaulted them.

In a pair of lawsuits filed in U.S. District Court, a total of 28 women said they were attacked shortly after midnight on the night of October 23, 2021 at the Clark County jail in Jeffersonville.

The female prisoners accused a guard at the facility, David Lowe, of providing the key to the male inmates for $1,000.
