TIONESTA — A Kane woman has been charged by the state attorney general’s office for allegedly having sexual contact with inmates while she was a corrections officer at the state prison in Forest County, and using the prison’s computers to steal the identities of other inmates.

Kristina Miller, 35, of Wolf Farm Road, is charged with three counts of institutional sexual assault and six counts of unlawful use of a computer, third-degree felonies; and six counts each of conspiracy to commit identity theft and conspiracy to commit theft by deception, first-degree misdemeanors.

According to the criminal complaint, from January to April of 2023, Miller engaged in sexual contact with three inmates — 34-year-old Kevin Lofton from Philadelphia, who was serving a life sentence on a murder charge; Tyrell Smith, 35, of Upper Darby, incarcerated on murder and robbery; and DeWayne Gray, 33, of West Homestead, incarcerated on murder and drug charges.

The three inmates told investigators they were “block workers,” who had time outside their cells for cleaning and maintenance duties, and were able to access supply closets. When Miller was on duty in their block, she would approach them and begin a physical relationship. With Gray it was touching and kissing. With Lofton, numerous times sex acts occurred. With Smith, she would perform sex acts on him, according to the criminal complaint.

The inmates said the contact was always consensual and she was “an active, willing participant,” the complaint stated. All three inmates were moved to other prisons as a result of the investigation.

Miller was interviewed and acknowledged the physical relationships, saying it was “nice to have the attention,” the complaint stated.

The investigation produced another person involved with Miller — Dayon McCracken, 35, who had been convicted of kidnapping in Elk County in 2015, and was released on parole. The two exchanged texts, photos, videos and calls after his release. He asked her to send him names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers of six inmates serving life sentences at State Correctional Institute at Forest; she did so. She told the investigator she had accessed the prison’s internal Department of Corrections database to get the information to send him, the complaint stated. She believed he was going to commit loan fraud with the information.

Miller was arraigned Wednesday before District Judge Daniel Miller in Forest County. She was released on $100,000 unsecured bail.

She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 11:30 a.m. Sept. 9. She is represented by Pittsburgh attorney Rachel Wheeler.
