Prison guard accused of having sex with inmate - 03/19/2007 - MiamiHerald.com

Gustavo Coronado, a Homestead prison guard, said he grew so tired of an inmate's advances that he had sex with her in her bunk ''so she would leave him alone,'' according to state agents.

They were unsympathetic -- and arrested him Monday.

He faces a third-degree felony charge of sexual misconduct with a detainee or offender.

''Any sexual contact is an abuse of authority,'' said Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle.

Coronado, 34, was linked to the December 2005 episode at the Homestead Correctional Institution by DNA from the woman's panties, says the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

The guard, agents say, had an illicit, one-afternoon stand with a career criminal imprisoned for forgery, grant theft and burglary.

The woman told agents she had been ''playing around'' with Coronado to get him busted for bad behavior. Flirting, she stole his pen on Dec. 30, 2005, proclaiming it hers.

After other inmates left for lunch, Coronado demanded to see what was in her locker, agents say.

The rest of the rendezvous detailed in the arrest affidavit, which lasted ''between 30 seconds to a minute,'' describes the sexual encounter.
