Update: Nowata County Jailer Says She Did Perform...

 

Former Nowata County Jailer, Cody Lowen, was arrested and charged with first-degree forcible sodomy and rape by instrumentation. Undersheriff Jason McClain said that the sheriff’s office called in the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, with special agent Brandon Lane conducting the investigation.

 

According to an affidavit, after Lowen and another officer began the booking process for a female arrested on an outstanding warrant the evening of April 28, the victim was left alone in the cell with no other jailers or female inmates when Lowen came to the cell by himself to talk with the victim who claims she felt coerced to perform oral sex on Lowen and was afraid to scream for help thinking other officers might do the same. She also said she felt something bad would happen if she did not perform oral sex. Lowen was on one side of the cell door while the victim was in the cell.  Lowen also made an attempt to penetrate the victim but she pulled away.

 

Investigators spoke with Lowen after the incident occurred, and he stated the victim did indeed perform oral sex on him. Undersheriff McClain said Lowen was terminated once the incident was discovered. Lowen was held in Washington County before posting a $25,000 bond.
