The report says the incident happened in the visitors room at the prison and that it was observed by a guard who was watching the closed circuit feed of the room.

The report indicates that a hearing was set for July 15, but it is not clear if that hearing has been held or if it has been postponed to a later date.

Kilpatrick's spokesman Mike Paul has released the following statement about the incident:

“This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. Another example of people trying to pile on in any way, shape or form on this man. This is his wife. Not his girlfriend, not a guard, not somebody he met at the prison. If the alleged incident did indeed happen, Kilpatrick should have been warned, like any other prisoner on a first time offense, and not written up. Someone in the prison is obviously looking to make a name for himself by going after Mr. Kilpatrick once again. This time for allegedly loving his wife. This is absurd."
