A woman who worked for a contractor that provides services for the Arizona Department of Corrections was arrested for having unlawful sexual relations with a prison inmate.

Court paperwork showed that on two occasions, over the past year, 40-year-old Veronica Leticia Walsh reportedly had sex with a prison inmate at the Lewis Correctional Facility in Buckeye.

Walsh was arrested at her home in Goodyear on Tuesday on a grand jury warrant.

The documents show that Walsh worked for an organization that is contracted with ADOC to provide counseling services.

The inmate is an adult male serving several years in prison for burglary and aggravated assault.

He is due to be released next month.

Walsh has been charged with two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with an inmate.
