Arkansas man faces prison for molesting female inmate

FORT WORTH -- Officials say an Arkansas man who was working at a federal medical prison in Texas must serve a year behind bars for molesting a female inmate he was overseeing.

Prosecutors say Matthew McGaugh, 39, of Hensley was sentenced Monday by a federal judge in Fort Worth. McGaugh in July pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of a ward.

McGaugh worked as a case manager at Carswell Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth. Prosecutors said in a statement that McGaugh engaged in multiple sexual acts last year with an inmate under his supervision.
