Goodman was arrested but has since been released on a recognizance bond, the sheriff’s office said.
Goodman was charged in a secret indictment on Tuesday in Greene County courts. The charges stem from incidents between July 3, 2019, and February 25, 2020, according to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office.
A civil suit from the female inmate was filed in Greene County Common Pleas court in late October. The civil lawsuit claims Goodman forced the woman into sexual conduct with him while she was an inmate and he was a corrections officer. She is suing for damages of at least $25,000.
The Greene County Prosecutor’s Office requested Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. appoint special prosecutors for the case. They were sworn in and presented the case to a Greene County grand jury on Tuesday.
Goodman has not yet been arraigned, but a date has not yet been set in court records.
