A former physician’s assistant at Rikers Island has been hit with rape and other sex abuse charges for trading sex with inmates for fast food and other favors.
Sidney Wilson was slapped with a 43-count indictment for various sex acts with four female inmates between October 2013 and December 2014.
The 60-year-old, who left his job in 2015, is accused of exchanging sex for things like gum, socks, and the occasional bite of fast food.
An incarcerated person is incapable of consenting to sex while in the custody of a correctional facility, according to the Bronx DA’s Office.
Bronx DA Darcel Clark said Wilson “used his position of trust” to abuse the women who came to him for medical help.
Wilson faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
