A federal corrections officer accused of holding hard-to-get feminine hygiene products over inmates’ heads to sexually abuse seven women took a plea deal Wednesday, prosecutors said.
Colin Akparanta, 43, pleaded guilty to abusing just one victim as Manhattan federal prosecutors said they had evidence he stashed feminine hygiene products in his lockers and also found a list of products he was planning to give to the women he was abusing.
“During 2017 in the [Metropolitan Correctional Center] while I was working as a correction officer, I sexually abused an inmate. I did so by touching her genitalia,” Akparanta admitted. “I deprived that inmate of her right to be free of that contact.”
Prosecutors alleged in a nine-count indictment back in May that Akparanta smuggled contraband — including personal hygiene items, makeup and food — into the jail as a means to coerce his victims into keeping quiet and cooperating with the abuse.
Throughout the majority of Akparanta’s alleged abuse between 2012 and 2018, feminine hygiene products were difficult to acquire because inmates were forced to purchase them from the commissary.
In August 2017, the Federal Bureau of Prisons changed that and made tampons, pads and panty liners free for inmates, records show.
Prosecutors said in court Wednesday that all seven of Akparanta’s victims were prepared to testify against him if the case went to trial — but they accepted two guilty pleas on charges of abusive sexual contact and deprivation of civil rights for assaulting an inmate, identified as “Victim 2,” sometime around September or October 2017, court records show.
Akparanta, a New Jersey resident, is accused of abusing Victim 2 through the slotted door of her cell while she was locked up in solitary confinement, court records show.
The corrections officer touched the inmate’s breasts and digitally penetrated her vagina as her body was pressed up against the cell’s door, causing substantial pain, records show.
Akparanta also fondled her while escorting her to the shower and requested she touch his penis over his pants, which she did, records state.
He faces a maximum of 12 years in jail and will be sentenced July 8.

Many have used the position they occupy and occupied to violate others. Little do they know that whether caught/prosecuted or not, their actions have consequences which they must bear. How desperately wicked the human mind is.
ReplyDeletethis man is over 50 years
Delete"Digitally penetrated"??????
ReplyDeleteAll these men with 3D dicks. SMH
Digit here refers to fingers.
DeleteOh dear, this is really painful.
ReplyDeleteKaaaai!
Some people sef!
For something u can get freely outside, you will go to jail for. Shameless animal
ReplyDelete@Eka
DeleteWho gives it to him freely outside, do you?
Anon 12:40. Seriously? That's what you can ask her? Freely can mean his wife or Someone he's in a relationship with. At least, still better than raping/molesting those women.
DeleteWhat is wrong with some of you here? Always trying to be rude to people. Stop it!
12.40 Respect your sorry life for Pete's sake!
DeleteAnon 12.40 you are daft for posting such a comment.
Delete12:40
DeleteBe civil.
@Roxie
DeleteSo you want us to believe that Eka meant that the man should have received it from his "wife?"
Are you for real?
Please, some of us are not daft. No wife was mentioned in this story. Receiving it free outside
means that sex is so cheap. If you can't answer that question there, please stop confusing us.
Is sex not cheap? Eka is right. He threw his freedom away for digital rape.
Deletekai! what you kind of man is this?
ReplyDeleteThe kind of man that has no self control nor shame.
DeleteWetin TOTO go do men for this life. Men abuse power alot when they can😠
ReplyDeleteSame as women
DeleteApkaranta will also be abused in the same manner in which he abused others.
ReplyDeleteMeeennnnn, his will be so much worse 😏.
DeleteI don’t know why, but there seems to be some ‘code of conduct’ in their prisons; prisoners don’t take kindly to rapists/abusers.
How will they do that??
DeleteHe will not be placed in General population like my law enforcement friend said, he will be housed in protective custody. Simple jail policy.
Anon 16:57, just curious, why would he be in protective custody? Will it be because he was an officer or because of concern for his well-being?
Delete@Mystic, Yes. For his personal safety. No Department wants the liability if he gets killed.
DeleteSame for Transgender inmates, all cops, people like serial killers and child molesters and Judges all get placed in protective custody.
Hunkle wey mumu… See the way you messed up such a good and promising job over 2mins satisfaction, bringing shame to your family and country as a whole. See face like PREEK.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...what indiscretion!!!
ReplyDeleteThe man in that picture looks 60 to me
ReplyDeleteWhen you injure the weak, you age quickly and become weaker. 😢😢
Word!
DeletePlease what does "digitally penetrated" mean?
ReplyDelete“Fingering”
DeleteConnecting prick and toto through blootooth
Deletepervert oshi
ReplyDeleteThis man is not 43 years, he's probably 49/50,years. See as small 'torchlight' make this one lose him beta job. Men and breast/Totoh is like ewedu and amala.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking at his perverted face. He is not less than 53 years!!!
DeleteI pity his butthole in jail.. oga dont dare pick the damn soup off the floor.
ReplyDeleteInmates hate sex offenders.
🙃
DeleteJust said my mind.
And he's not just a sex offender, he's an ex-corrections officer! Chai! I wish I could say I pity him but that would be a lie.
DeleteRot in Jail!
ReplyDeleteThen this one will come home To Naija at Xmas and be doing a man of the people. Kai. Anyway as he is imprisoned they will probably abuse him too so nothing spoil.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame
ReplyDeleteLooks can be so deceptive.
ReplyDeleteYou do the crime, oga kukuma do the time.
Zero pity.
if he was in Nigeria now they'll blame the inmate and women will say she 'jazzed' him. Blaming sidechicks for men that don't want to be 'kept'
ReplyDelete🤣😆
DeleteOh na toto
ReplyDeleteWhat an arsehole!! I hope he gets digitally penetrated while he is incarcerated. Some folks are so depraved; I am glad he did not get away with it.
ReplyDeleteDigital penetration means fingering
ReplyDeleteThe way I fear the law! You knew the consequences but still went ahead to commit the crime anyway. The fact that you worked with prisoners should have kept you in check..
ReplyDeleteThats what konji does.... it blinds & makes u damn the consequences.
DeleteThose that abuse people they think are weak or have no right. Now the law has caught up with him. He should go and face the wrath of the law and feel what that woman felt when he was molesting her. Stupid man!
ReplyDeleteAt least he took responsibility for his actions. The devil is free of accusations in this one. Hopefully, his time behind bars however long or short would reform his mind and attitude towards women especially those in disadvantaged situations.
ReplyDeleteShameful act
ReplyDeleteOga sorry
You did yourself bad by your action.
happens alot in prisons but na who dem catch dey guilty...serves you right oga
ReplyDeleteLook at him too, he looks so decent. May God grant us the spirit of discernment so we can bypass these ppl when we see them coming.
ReplyDeleteYou guys didn’t hear about the five female correctional officers in a Baltimore jail that were all sleeping with one mail inmate?? Four of them even got pregnant for him. All for money and BMW.
ReplyDeleteIt was a male prisons officer, jot an inmate.
Delete2124, it was a male inmate. Gangster for that matter.
DeleteGo to google. It’s right there.

To protect inmates, it would be better to have female officers only guarding female inmates and males should be grouped the same way. It would not stop abuse but would drastically reduce it since homosexuals are far less in the population 3-5 percent.
ReplyDeleteAs for you Mr 60 claiming 43, na wetin you Sabi chop belle full you. Dangerous animal.
He will go to prison and they will sexually molest him too. Very good
