CLEVELAND, Ohio — A 30-year-old state corrections officer is accused of sexually battering a woman inmate at the Northeast Pre-Release Center.

Barbara Dixon, of Stow, is charged in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court with three counts of sexual battery.

Prosecutors say she had sexual contact with the 23-year-old prisoner three times between Dec. 26 and Jan. 10.

Dixon will be arraigned May 24.

Highway Patrol troopers investigated after receiving a tip about a relationship between an officer and an inmate, prosecutor’s spokesman Ryan Miday said.
