A female deputy sheriff in San Francisco<\/a> faces criminal charges for for allegedly groping an inmate\u2019s breast, officials said. <\/p>\n

Nanette Musto, 51, was on the job at San Francisco County Jail #2 Sunday when she allegedly approached a female inmate and asked, \u201cwhether she had surgically augmented her body,\u201d the San Francisco District Attorney\u2019s Office<\/a> said in a statement issued Monday.<\/p>\n

After the inmate answered, Musto allegedly reached out and, \u201cwithout permission or lawful necessity, touched the inmate\u2019s breast,\u201d the DA\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

The DA\u2019s office said Musto, who\u2019s worked for the sheriff\u2019s office since 2017, asked the inmate the crude question\u00a0\u201capparently due to rumors being spread by other jail inmates.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vile act \u201ccaused the inmate to feel humiliated and embarrassed,\u201d the DA\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

The DA\u2019s office said the case remains an active investigation by San Francisco\u2019s Department of Police Accountability, as well as the DA.<\/p>\n

Musto is due back in court Tuesday to enter her plea.<\/p>\n

The bust is just the latest in a string of sexual misconduct accusations recently leveled at sheriff\u2019s deputies who guard the jails in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

A group of women prisoners sued\u00a0the sheriff\u2019s office in May, alleging that deputies strip-searched them and recorded the act with their body-worn cameras, in violation of a written policy forbidding their use in such a setting, according to court records.<\/p>\n

And, last fall, the sheriff\u2019s office fired a 33-year-old deputy over allegations of sexually assaulting a transgender inmate, the news site Mission Local<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n
