TUCSON - A former Arizona corrections officer accused of having sex with a teenage inmate has turned herself in to authorities.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department had been investigating Amy Lynn Barker, 23, since last summer, when a 15-year-old boy at the Catalina Mountain Juvenile Institution told a Child Protective Services caseworker that Barker had sex with him at the prison.
At the time, authorities said Barker was a corrections officer who oversaw the boy.
Investigators had been unable to locate Barker, who turned herself in Thursday.
Barker is charged with two counts of sexual conduct with a minor and one count of unlawful sexual conduct at a corrections facility.
She was being held in lieu of $150,000 bond.
