Taking nude photo of woman in her cell was an accident, says ex-prison warden charged with sex abuse

OAKLAND, Calif. — Jurors no longer have to wonder how Ray J. Garcia will explain the nude photo of an incarcerated woman, on all fours inside her cell, that allegedly shows a reflection of his face holding the camera.

Garcia, the former warden of FCI Dublin charged with sexually abusing three women in the prison, claims it was an innocent mistake.
