- The accuser said fear of retaliation stopped her reporting it.
- Baklund denies deliberately groping the woman.

## Summary

An Arkansas prisoner, Taylor Baklund, 25, was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault after another woman alleged she groped her in Benton County Jail. The allegations matter because the accuser said she felt unable to report or challenge the behaviour, fearing retaliation and social repercussions inside the jail.

A probable cause affidavit says Baklund made sexual comments, then groped the woman through her clothing and grabbed her shirt in a lunch queue; the alleged assault ended when a deputy entered. Baklund reportedly said she was joking, admitted grabbing the woman’s arm and denied deliberately groping her. She was ordered to stay away from the accuser, with bond set at $25,000, and is due to be arraigned next month; prosecutors have also sought to revoke her probation over pending charges.
