A NORTH Queensland corrections officer allegedly raped a colleague after a boozy social event with work mates.
The woman was hit with rape and sexual assault charges after the alleged incident at an after work social event a group of employees attended.
In an email sighted by the Townsville Bulletin, Corrective Services sent a letter to staff last week advising a staff member was charged with a criminal offence.
The email was sent by Acting Chief Superintendent Louise Kneeshaw, who stepped into the prison's top job after former general manager Peter Hall was stood down last year over allegations he had "inappropriate relationships" with a staff member.
