Several female inmates in Indiana have filed a federal lawsuit alleging they were attacked by male prisoners after a Clark County jail guard sold a key to their jail cells.

The Washington Post reports that at least 28 women are suing Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel and then-corrections officer David Lowe for allegedly allowing male inmates to attack them on Oct. 24.

According to the lawsuit, the male prisoners allegedly raped, exposed their genitals, yelled obscenities, and groped the women.

The lawsuit alleges that two male inmates paid Lowe $1,000 in exchange for access the women's cells, Newsweek reported.

The Post and WDRB reported that Lowe was fired and charged days after the alleged attacks.

According to the news outlets, Lowe was charged with felony official misconduct, helping an inmate escape, and trafficking with an inmate.

His trial is slated to begin sometime in September, WDRB reported.

A single mother and her daughter will enjoy the holidays in their new southern Indiana home this year.

Friday, Habitat for Humanity Clark & Floyd Indiana cut the ribbon on its newest home renovation. Teanna Huckleberry bought her home through Habitat for Humanity's homeownership program. The program offers families with limited finances a chance to buy a home through 250 hours of volunteer construction work.

"It's been so incredible to have all these people show me what it is like to have, you know, love and support from the community and just everyone coming together for one goal, and that was to get a house for us," Huckleberry said.

Huckleberry and her daughter plan to move into their new home before the holidays.

Now that Huckleberry's home is complete, she'll pay her monthly mortgage payments back to Habitat for Humanity to help others get to the path of homeownership.

Habitat for Humanity in Clark and Floyd counties have built or renovated more than 50 homes since 1991.
