HANSEN v. CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION
While appellant, Douglas R. Hansen, was employed by respondent, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), as a vocational instructor at the Correctional Custody Institution (CCI), CDCR's Office of Internal Affairs began an investigation into allegations that Hansen had engaged in misconduct and criminal activity. The alleged criminal activity included violations of Penal Code section 289.6, subdivision (a)(3) (prohibits sexual activity with inmates) and Penal Code section 4570 (prohibits unauthorized communications with inmates). Shortly thereafter, Hansen retired from state service. Nevertheless, the investigation continued engendering a warrant to search Hansen's residence. CDCR agents, accompanied by the local police, executed the warrant, searched the residence, and seized several items. However, no criminal charges were ever filed.
