Son of Ill. rep. gets jail for sex with inmates
October 15, 2008 6:03 PM

ST. CHARLES, Ill.
The son of U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush has been sentenced in Illinois to 180 days in jail for sexual contact with female inmates at a state corrections facility where he worked.



The 42-year-old Jeffrey M. Rush was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to official misconduct in a deal with prosecutors.

Rush allegedly met two inmates for sexual contact on numerous occasions and offered a third a ride while he was security chief at the Fox Valley Adult Transition Center in Aurora.

He was fired in September 2007.

Democrat Bobby Rush is seeking re-election November to his seat representing the Chicago's South Side and southwest suburbs.
