PORTLAND, Ore. — A Clackamas County jail deputy who masturbated while a female inmate did a striptease for him has pleaded guilty to one count of official misconduct.
Jimmy John Thomas Dearborn, 37, had a casual conversation with the inmate and in December she partially disrobed and exposed herself to Dearborn, who was outside her cell, Clackamas County prosecutor Mike Regan said Friday.
Other female inmates overheard what was happening and one of them reported it to jail authorities, Regan said.
Dearborn was required to surrender his law enforcement certification and resign from the Sheriff’s Office. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced Thursday.
“Our goal was that he be terminated and not be a police officer again,” Regan said.
Dearborn was hired by the Sheriff’s Office in July 2013.
Dearborn was placed on 12 months of bench probation and must perform 48 hours of community service.
