Lol. Illinois jail guard caught watching porn with 2 prisoners

An Illinois jail guard has resigned after 22 years on the job and it's all because of porn. Investigators said surveillance video shows Oscar Taylor, 53, (centre) watching a porn video on his cellphone with 2 inmates inside the Cook County Jail's barbershop.

An internal investigation was launched at the jail, after authorities received word that contraband was being brought into the Division 6 barbershop.

Taylor was supposed to be monitoring inmates while they had their hair cut, the sheriff's office said. Sheriff's investigators caught Taylor watching the pornographic videos with inmates 39-year-old Tyrone Noel and 27-year-old William Taylor. Oscar Taylor and William Taylor are not related.

Investigators also found a firearm in Officer Taylor's car. His FOID card is currently revoked because of an incident that occurred when he wasn't on duty. Taylor, of Oak Park, was charged with three counts of unauthorized bringing of contraband into a penal institution, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon for carrying an uncased revolver in close proximity of ammunition.

Tyrone Noel and William Taylor were both charged with possession of contraband. Oscar Taylor resigned shortly after being charged and he was released on electronic monitoring after his bind hearing on Wednesday.
