Priest pleads guilty in inmate sex case
A Roman Catholic priest who worked as a chaplain at a women’s federal prison pleaded guilty in Fort Worth to sexual abuse for having sex with two inmates.
Vincent Inametti, 48, faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine for two counts of sexual abuse of a ward. He remains free on bond.
Authorities received a complaint this year that he was having sex with an inmate at Federal Medical Center Carswell. An investigation revealed he was involved with two women, both of whom were serving sentences for conspiracy to distribute drugs.
