TOPEKA, Kan. — A former Topeka Correctional Facility officer who had sex with inmates has been ordered to pay $750,000 to one of the inmates.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Rogers ordered the fine against former guard Nathan Van Dyke. Under a plea agreement in 2010, Van Dyke was found guilty on two counts of improper sexual conduct with female prison inmates. He received probation.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Van Dyke didn’t respond to a lawsuit filed against him by John Kurtz, an attorney representing former inmate Rebecca Fleetwood.
Court records indicate Rogers signed an order Monday entering the civil judgment against Van Dyke.
