A sex assault victim claims he was taunted in jail by a prison officer about the abuse he suffered at the hands of former Bermuda Housing Corporation boss Glenn Brangman.The 24-year-old man has made a complaint of harassment against the male officer, whom he alleges mocked him in front of other Westgate inmates in January, calling him a “bitch” and a “faggot”.Mr X, who was in prison for receiving stolen goods, claims the officer breached confidentiality by telling other prisoners about the four sexual assaults he suffered at the hands of 61-year-old Brangman when he was a teenager.And he wrote in his complaint that the intimidation led to him having to take medication for depression and sleeping pills.“I felt very harassed from it, embarrassed,” he wrote. “I already have to deal with my own problems that I’ve got, plus dealing with inmates calling me all these names, taunting me and also threatening me.”Mr X’s complaint, which he shared with The Royal Gazette, has been investigated by the Department of Corrections after it was referred there by the Treatment of Offenders Board.But the father-of-one told this newspaper he feared it had not been treated seriously and had not yet been told the outcome.He has since made further complaints to the Human Rights Commission and the Ombudsman.Those two investigations are ongoing and the Department of Public Prosecutions and Bermuda Police Service (BPS) are also aware of the harassment complaint.Brangman, a former Regiment Quartermaster, was convicted in February 2012 of four counts of sexually assaulting Mr X when the younger man worked at BHC as an office clerk in 2009.He unsuccessfully appealed the conviction at Supreme Court and is now taking the case to the Court of Appeal.Brangman was jailed for three-and-a-half years on November 15 last year but released on bail less than two weeks later, pending the conclusion of his appeal.His sentence has since been reduced to three years by the Chief Justice.Mr X was jailed for a year last October after admitting handling stolen goods. He served nine months of the sentence before being released.He claimed that on the afternoon of January 18 this year, the 41-year-old officer “took it upon himself to call [me] various names, such as faggot, a bitch etc” before referring to the sexual assaults he suffered.“He did all of this while in the officer’s booth and also in the middle of the unit, screaming it all out loud,” he wrote in his complaint. “He then told the inmates that I called them bitches.“He then asked them out loud who would like to beat me first; he then asked them who would like their door opened first so that they could,” wrote Mr X, adding that all but two inmates called out to have their doors opened and many were members of the Parkside gang.“[The prison officer] then responded to them that ‘it’s only a matter of time before it happens’. He was laughing and also encouraging them.”Mr X said the following day another inmate attempted to punch him and later came to his cell door and threatened to beat and kill him.He filed a request to go before the Treatment of Offenders Board on January 24 but says the board referred the matter to Corrections in March.The victim said he was told on May 15 by Corrections that an internal investigation would begin but has received no further information. He was released from jail in July.Mr X said his repeated requests for a meeting with Commissioner of Corrections Edward Lamb were ignored and he believes some letters he sent to the Ombudsman never left the prison.The Ombudsman’s office told him in a letter dated May 28 it would begin preliminary inquiries into his complaint that Corrections had subjected him to unreasonable delay and bias after he filed his complaint about the officer.The HRC told Mr X in a letter on June 20 it had considered his complaint of discrimination and approved the matter for investigation.The commission’s executive officer also notified the Department of Public Prosecutions that a complaint of sexual harassment had been made which could warrant a criminal investigation.Rory Field, the director of public prosecutions, told this newspaper: “I can confirm that we have received some information from the HRC and that we have responded to them and that we have been in contact with the BPS (Bermuda Police Service) regarding the matter.“That is as much as I can inform you [with] reference [to] the matter at this point.”A Ministry of Public Safety spokeswoman said: “The Department of Corrections can confirm that a complaint was made by ex-inmate [Mr X].“The complaint was thoroughly investigated and the actions taken will be shared with Mr [X] shortly. The matter is closed.”The HRC did not respond to requests for comment by press time and C Winston Rawlins, chairman of the Treatment of Offenders Board, could not be reached.Ombudsman Arlene Brock said she could not discuss or confirm whether she was investigating any complaint as her inquiries must, in law, be conducted in private.She said her office was actively investigating eight complaints from prisoners, spanning all the Corrections facilities on the Island, including one lodged last week.“As two prisoners each have made two separate complaints, these eight complaints are from six individuals,” she said.“In addition, there are two complaints that we hope to close shortly pending a procedural clarification (which I will discuss in the next annual report). Three other investigated complaints were closed so far this year.”
