A former employee at an Iowa jail is facing criminal charges after being discovered having sex with an inmate.
After the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation looked into accusations of sexual misconduct at the Tama County Jail, Kayla Mae Bergom, 27, was arrested on April 20, 2022, and charged with three counts of sexual misconduct.
Bergom was found to be having sex multiple times, in a utility closet and the recreational yard, with an inmate at the jail during her working hours.
According to the complaints filed, Bergom engaged in sex acts with a 29-year old inmate in a utility closet in October 2020 and in the recreation yard in September 2020 and April 2021.
In March, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation had finished looking into an accusation of sexual misconduct by a county employee. Shortly after, Bergom was arrested on April 20 on a warrant by the Tama County Sheriff’s department. However, she was released on the same day.
In May she pleaded not guilty to the charges. She is currently awaiting her trial that is scheduled for Aug. 12.
Bergom faces a maximum of six years if she is convicted of the charges, which are misdemeanors.
Bergom worked for the jail for three years and resigned because of the allegations.
You can’t fix stupid. With her looks and body she could have easily found just about anyone anywhere to have sex with.
It’s not unusual for inmates to lie. Bergom filed as not guilty. I would have to see a lot more evidents a crime was committed and even then, I wouldn’t tar and feather her for it. Hell, Bill Clinton had sex with a young girl in the White House and he didn’t even lose his job over it.
