Noelle Crombie | The Oregonian/OregonLive ; Oregon prison library worker charged after massive data breach
"A former library worker at Snake River Correctional Institution has been indicted on felony computer crime charges after state corrections officials accused her of downloading tens of thousands of internal files.
Demetre Gennette, 37, of Caldwell, Idaho, faces charges of aggravated first-degree theft, first-degree official misconduct, second-degree custodial sexual misconduct and supplying contraband...
Gennette worked as a library coordinator at the prison law library and was fired earlier this year. Snake River in Ontario, the state’s largest prison, has about 2,700 prisoners.
In an interview Friday with The Oregonian/OregonLive, Gennette acknowledged she accessed a large number of files.
She said she turned them over to the Oregon Justice Resource Center, a nonprofit that advocates on behalf of people in prison. She said she also sent it to two attorneys who work on cases involving prisoner welfare."
