A federal prison guard was impregnated by the convict, Ronell Wilson who responsible for killing two New York Police Department detectives, according to court papers.
Federal agents arrested guard Nancy Gonzalez at her Huntington Long Island home on Tuesday on charges of intentionally engaging in a sex act with Wilson while working the night shift at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
According to court papers, she got pregnant in June, a few months into the illegal affair.
"I took a chance because I was so vulnerable and wanted to be loved and now I am carrying his child," Gonzalez said, according to court papers. According to the New York Daily News, she could face 15 years in prison. Gonzalez is 29 years old.
Wilson, 30, is facing the death penalty for murdering undercover NYPD detectives Rodney Andrews and James Nemorin.
Court papers reveal that she "kind of got sucked into his world," and she "felt like why not give him a child as far as giving him some kind of hope?" according to the New York Daily News.
The illicit sex between this prison guard and inmate occurred over three weekends with "the sole purpose to impregnate her," the complaint said. As the Department of Justice inspector general office launched an investigation into the transgression, Wilson was moved to solitary confinement.
Wilson, a member of the in the bloods gang, remains a danger in prison, according to federal prosecutors. He was sentenced to die in 2007 by a federal jury for murdering the undercover detectives but the U.S. Court of Appeals overturned the sentence errors by the prosecution.
