More recently, other female celebrities have been incarcerated at FCI Dublin. Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman served short sentences in connection to the college admissions scandal. 

Smallville actress Allison Mack started her 3-year sentence for her role in the NXIVM cult conspiracy in May 2021. And Garcia was removed from his post in June 2021.

The court heard how Garcia and his staff were so open about their activities that inmates started to refer to it as “rape club.”

Abuse of power

Prosecutors are using images on Garcia’s government-issued phone as evidence. And Judge Yvonne Gonzales Rogers ordered that only the jury get to see the photos discussed at trial. 

 The sexual abuse typically took place away from the view of security cameras. Prosecutors say Garcia sexually abused the women inmates where there were no cameras. Much of the sexual abuse took place in women’s bathrooms.

Garcia had pictures of his own penis which he showed to his victims, and he also has naked pictures of inmates in their cells which he took on his phone in 2021.
