Four Women Sue Michigan Corrections | Detroit News

Four women—two current and two former employees of Michigan’s Department of Corrections—are suing the agency after alleging years of sexual harassment, assault, and rape by officer Gerald Burton at Marquette Branch Prison. They claim the department ignored its own policies, failed to investigate properly, and kept Burton on duty with unsupervised access to staff—even after they reported him. The lawsuit also accuses the agency of retaliation and seeks a jury trial for damages. Burton, already convicted of criminal sexual conduct in five separate cases, is set for sentencing on August 14th.
