<p>(KTVU) A former Contra Costa County sheriff’s deputy who pleaded guilty to felony sex crimes involving female inmates avoided serious jail time or mandatory sex-offender registration at his sentencing in a Martinez courtroom Wednesday afternoon.
<p>Patrick Morseman, 28, pleaded guilty to four counts of “sexual activity with a confined, consenting adult,” stemming from acts in which he had oral and vaginal intercourse with two women detained at the West County Detention Facility in Richmond on or about March 31, 2018.
<p>Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, both of whom appeared in custody, recounted the events at an emotional preliminary hearing in April — saying they had been flirting with Morseman and handed him a note asking if he wanted to have sex, but had not expected him to take the offer seriously.
