Matthew Mullenix, an eight-year veteran corrections officer at the Clermont County Jail, has been indicted on two counts of felonious assault following a July 7 incident captured on body camera footage. Prosecutors state that Mullenix entered a cell where an inmate was attempting self-harm, freed him, and subsequently punched him repeatedly in the ribs and slammed his head against a sink. The inmate sustained severe injuries, including at least six fractured ribs and a head laceration requiring 23 staples. Currently on paid administrative leave, Mullenix faces up to 16 years in prison if convicted.
