A former King County corrections officer pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of custodial sexual misconduct for having sex with two teenage boys at the Juvenile Detention Center. Lydia Korolak, 34, admitted to having sexual relationships with the teens, who were then 17 years old, giving them food, candy and other perks in exchange while they were under her supervision between 2001 and 2003.
Prosecutors said they will recommend a 17-month prison term at her sentencing June 20.
Korolak, who is no longer a corrections officer, was originally charged with four counts of first-degree custodial sexual misconduct and was scheduled to go on trial later this month.
