Shier IV for the Eastern District of Kentucky. \u201cTheir conduct was a profound breach of the trust placed in them, a brazen disregard for safety of people in their care and a disgraceful effort to conceal their crime. Fortunately, they now face the consequences of this inexcusable conduct.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cWhen several officers took part in beating an inmate who was unable to defend himself, a blatant violation of the individual\u2019s civil rights occurred. But the injustice did not stop there as evidence of a cover-up also emerged,\u201d said Special Agent in Charge Michael E. Stansbury of the FBI Louisville Field Office. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The evidence at trial established that Dennis and Benish, both of whom were members of EKCC\u2019s internal affairs department, assaulted a non-violent inmate who was lying face-down, wearing handcuffs and leg shackles and isolated in a prison shower cell. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Havens, an entry-level officer, joined them in the assault.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Within hours of the inmate reporting the abuse, supervisors of EKCC and state detectives of the Kentucky State Police opened an investigation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Nickell, Cantrell and Mays, who were standing in the hallway outside the door of the shower when the assault began, joined the other officers in a cover-up scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"> They wrote false reports and lied to state investigators as part of that cover-up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The one defendant who did not plead guilty was recently convicted at trial in a related case. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">On Feb. 15, former Corrections Sergeant Nantell was convicted of one count of deprivation of civil rights for failing to intervene to protect the inmate and three counts of obstruction for lying to state and federal investigators. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:
