Overview
- Bianca Lopez, 37, was booked into the Bexar County Jail on a charge of violating the civil rights of a person in custody, a third-degree felony, and a judge set her bail at $10,000.
- An arrest affidavit says a 46-year-old inmate told investigators he had sexual contact with Lopez about five times over the past year, including one episode of intercourse and four instances of oral sex.
- The inmate told investigators one encounter took place in a medical closet near the jail commissary and investigators later confronted Lopez, who admitted to the contacts described in the affidavit.
- A separate jailer, Miranda Annette Barrientes-Sedillo, was arrested earlier on a similar charge and released after posting a $25,000 bond, and the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately comment.
- The Fabian Dale Dominguez State Jail can house about 2,276 men and employs roughly 382 staff including 262 security officers, facts that officials say raise questions about oversight, policy enforcement and inmate safety as the Office of the Inspector General continues its probe.
