“Numerous male detainees used the keys obtained from Lowe to enter Pods 4(E) and 4(F), where they raped, assaulted, harassed, threatened, and intimidated the plaintiffs in this lawsuit, and other women, for several hours, resulting in significant physical and emotional injuries,” read the lawsuit.
The men allegedly threatened to continue harming the women if they pressed the emergency call button.
According to WHAS, he will face a jury in a criminal trial in September.
Noel, Lowe, and other unnamed jail guards were the targets of a similar civil rights lawsuit by 20 women in June.
“Women were harassed, sexually assaulted, threatened, and completely terrified,” said Bart Betteau, an attorney for one of the plaintiffs. “When I met with each and every one of these women, and they broke down repeatedly, you get the impression, the understanding of what these women went through.”
“The violation of the Plaintiffs’ constitutional rights was the result not only of a single bad actor, Lowe, but also due to a systemic failure on behalf of the Clark County Sheriff who failed to properly staff the jail, train the jail officers, and supervise the jail officers to make sure they maintained adequate security at the jail,” the July lawsuit states.
In both instances, the women ask for jury trials and compensatory damages.
