Seattle Guard Accused of Favors for Sex

A female guard at a juvenile detention facility has been charged with giving food, candy and other favors to two teenage inmates in exchange for sex, and four other guards are under investigation, officials said.

Lydia Korolak, 34, an 11-year veteran of the King County juvenile lockup, was charged Tuesday with four counts of custodial misconduct. She was on paid leave pending arraignment Aug. 1.

The four other guards also are on paid leave as the investigation continues.

"I wanted our juvenile facility cleaned up once and for all," King County Executive Ron Sims told reporters Tuesday at a news conference. Officials said guards who avoid criminal charges still could lose their jobs or be disciplined.

Each charge against Korolak carries a standard sentence of about five years. She does not have a listed phone number.
