A former Geary County Corrections Officer charged with unlawful sexual relations with a female inmate has yet to enter a plea in District Court.

Brian Patrick O’Loughlin was arrested on April 20th after an alleged inappropriate relationship with a female inmate.

In May, Judge Charles Zimmerman scheduled a preliminary hearing for O’Loughlin on July 12th at 9:30 am – a preliminary hearing is where the Court would determine if there is enough evidence for a trial and the defendant would enter a guilty or not guilty plea if the Court is able to provide sufficient evidence – that hearing today was cancelled.

The case has been continued with a status hearing scheduled for August 8th.

Unlawful sexual relations with an inmate is a severity level 5 felony.

O’Loughlin is no longer employed with the Geary County Sheriff’s Department.
