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, KCRG reports.
Bergom allegedly had sex with an inmate at the jail "multiple" times in a
utility closet and in the recreational yard while she was working there,
court documents show, KCRG reported.
She allegedly "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, according to the criminal complaint, The Gazette reports.
In March, the KCRG-TV9 i9 Investigative Team reported that the Iowa
Division of Criminal Investigation had finished looking into an accusation
of sexual misconduct by a county employee.
The Tama-Toledo News Chronicle reported that the Tama County Sheriff's
Department arrested Bergom on April 20 on a warrant.
She was released that same day.
In May she pleaded not guilty to the charges, The Gazette reports.
She is awaiting trial, which is scheduled to begin on Aug. 12.
She 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, Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera told The Gazette.
The Sheriff and the DCI did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request
for comment.
