Overview

  • Federal prosecutors charged corrections officer Jordan Pensak with sexual abuse and she was released on bail, the US Attorney’s Office said.
  • The Bureau of Prisons placed Pensak on administrative leave while the FBI and federal prosecutors pursue the case in Camden federal court.
  • The court filings released Tuesday show investigators seized Pensak’s phone and contraband inmate phones that contained more than 100 explicit texts, photos, and videos documenting the encounters.
  • The complaint alleges the sexual contact began in 2024, occurred several times in a Fort Dix office with other inmates paid to act as lookouts, and included texts about a pregnancy scare and using drugs at work.
  • The case highlights persistent prison problems with contraband phones and supervision failures and could carry a prison term of up to 15 years if Pensak is convicted.
