The July 25 assault at the State Correctional Institution-Rockview has prompted state corrections officials to review security procedures and the placement of civilian employees and has now resulted in rape and other charges against the inmate, 36-year-old Omar Best.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Best who was arraigned Thursday and faces a preliminary hearing on Wednesday.
A criminal complaint says the woman was a clerk typist when Best came into her office to take out the trash. The woman had previously complained that Best made her uncomfortable by asking about her marital status.
