A former Mule Creek State Prison guard is now facing multiple charges of sex with a minor. According to Mule Creek Spokesman Chris Weathersbee, the continuing investigation is a cooperative effort between the prison, the Amador County Sheriff’s Office and District Attorney Todd Reibe. Former guard Danny James Akemon, a 28 year old Volcano resident is accused of multiple counts of sex with a 14 year old male. The purported crime has sparked further investigation into Akemon’s conduct while working as an Ione prison guard for less than nine months. “What I can tell you is limited…(but) I will say we are in full cooperation with the District Attorney’s office,” said Weathersbee. The prison is also conducting its own internal investigation. Akemon’s preliminary hearing is scheduled at Amador Superior Court on June 6th. He is pleading not guilty to two counts of both oral copulation of a person under 16 and lewd acts with a child. Akemon was booked at the Amador County Sheriff's office on February 4th. His tenure as a prison guard lasted from June 11, 2007 to March 31, 2008. He was purportedly let go due to inappropriate conduct.
