WASHINGTON—A fifth worker at a federal women’s prison in California has been charged with sexually abusing an inmate, and prosecutors say more arrests are expected at the lockup.

Enrique Chavez, a food service foreman at the federal correctional institution in Dublin, California, is accused of touching an inmate’s breasts, buttocks, and genitals on two separate occasions in October 2020, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday in federal court.
