Sex Orgy at Juvie Jail "Social"; Whistleblower Exposes Raunchy Party for Hard-Core Inmates

NEW YORK (CBS) A juvenile detention facility has found a unique - and incredibly inappropriate - way to reward good behavior for its inmates: a sex orgy social, according to a former guard at the facility.

Antonio Collado Jr., a security officer at the upstate Goshen Secure Center for teens, about 100 miles south of Albany, was granted legal "whistleblower" status by investigators after he came forward about the shocking goings on at the December 2009 social.

Collado said he was asked to drive to Albany to pick up a 15-year-old girl and a friend and bring them to the facility, according to the New York Post. The girls were reportedly requested by two inmates, according to Collado, who also said one inmate later told him he'd never met the woman he invited to the dance, but had gotten her name from a fellow prisoner. It's now believed that woman was a prostitute.

"I've seen socials before but have never seen anything like this," Collado, a 38-year veteran officer, told the Post. "There was a girl getting her pants pulled down," he said, of a sex act that appeared imminent. "I saw her red g-string panties almost being pulled off."

The party was abruptly cut short when a guard who was manning the video surveillance cameras raised an alarm, according to the Post.

State Inspector General Joseph Fisch told the Post that an investigation was ongoing.

New York State Office of Children and Family Services spokeswoman Susan Steele refused to comment directly on the incident except to say that an "investigation is going on now," the paper reported.

Steele did say that OCFS Commissioner Gladys Carrion supported social dances for hard-core convicted youth "as part of our way of incentivizing good behavior."
