“Columbia resident and corrections officer James Justice, a.k.a. James Stewart Thomas, 32, was indicted in May 2022 after he was charged with ‘falsifying records relating to non-consensual sexual contact that he had with a female inmate in his custody,’ according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee in a statement released Thursday .
