"Within 24 hours of learning of the allegations, we had interviewed the victims, collected and analyzed physical evidence, obtained search warrants, located the suspect and made the arrest," Sheriff David Livingston said in a statement.

"We are now moving forward with termination of employment and providing assistance services to the victims," Livingston continued.

It also appears there was an exchange of funds between Morseman and the two inmates "where money was placed into their accounts," said Jimmy Lee from the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department. "What he did was inexcusable and criminal, and he will be held accountable."

The women allege rape. The Sheriff's investigation  determined it was consensual sex.

"The two victims say they were raped, according to their attorney Joseph LaCome. “Their feeling was that they had to go along with it, because of the consequences if they didn’t,” LaCome said.

LaCome said his clients would talk with Morseman and he would let the inmates stay in the same room. On Friday evening, Morseman came back from doing his rounds and forced both women to perform oral sex on him. Morseman then allegedly had vaginal sex with one inmate. DNA evidence was retained in the form of a napkin by the women."
