ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A former Orleans County inmate who was raped by a guard won a $600,000 settlement.

According to WHEC, the guard, Donald Lasker, raped the woman back in 2007 at Albion State Prison.

He was later fired and sentenced to two months of weekends in jail.

Investigators claim that Lasker tried to rape the victim once before, but was caught by a prison sergeant. He was not disciplined at the time.

Lasker has been under investigation before when a different female inmate accused him of rape.
