Two contract employees at McCracken jail accused of rape

On Friday, two contract employees of the McCracken County Regional Jail were arrested and charged with rape for having relationships with inmates.

On Thursday Kentucky State Police were contacted by the jail regarding a report that 25-year-old Taylor Goodin of Paducah, a contracted kitchen employee, was allegedly having sex with an inmate inside the jail. 

Then on Friday, McCracken County deputies arrested a second kitchen employee on the same charge after they were notified of possible criminal acts committed by 22-year-old Hailey Webb of Paducah. Detectives said during an interview that Webb admitted to having an alleged sexual relationship with a male inmate.

Authorities said that because of their employment status and the inmates being confined to the jail, they were charged with rape. Goodin was taken to the Marshall County Jail, while Webb was taken to the Ballard County Jail.
