SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) A correctional officer plans to plead guilty to having sexual contact with an inmate at the Pennington County Jail.
A court document says Weston Bettelyoun engaged in the sexual act in July of 2023. It involved a federal inmate who was being held in the county jail, so Bettelyoun is charged in federal court.
The complaint and a plea agreement were both filed on Friday afternoon. The documents say once Bettelyoun enters a guilty plea, he could face a maximum of 15-years behind bars.
We have reached out to the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office to find out if Bettelyoun is still working for the county. We will let you know when we have an answer.
