Thu, March 23, 2017 — A lawsuit has been filed against the Tulsa County Jail, claiming employees failed to do a proper mental health examination and ignored a week's worth of complaints by an inmate.
This reportedly led to the inmate being raped by a sexual predator inside the jail.
Attorney Dan Smolen tells us it should have been obvious his client is mentally ill.
“It’s apparent to even a lay person, that he’s suffering from acute severe mental issues,” Smolen said.
Sheriff's office declined to comment on the pending litigation.
Just a few days ago, the jail also lost a $10 million verdict in the Elliott Williams case.
