A Clovis man and former correctional officer has been sentenced to eight years in prison for forcing three inmates to submit to oral copulation and other sexual abuse.

Andrew Jones, 36, of Clovis pleaded guilty in August after admitting to sexual abuse and to making false statements during his time supervising kitchen staff at Federal Bureau of Prisons in Dublin, federal prosecutors said Thursday in a news release.

Jones was convicted of six counts of sexual abuse and one for the false statements. He was also ordered to serve 10 years of supervised release after the prison term, prosecutors said.
