Thomas C. Hahn (DOB 1/6/79), an officer with the Gloucester County Department of Corrections, was charged Nov. 4 with complicity, conspiracy and misconduct in a Sept. 14, 2011 aggravated assault on a Gloucester County Jail inmate, by arranging for another inmate to attack him.

Specifically, Hahn moved the 20-year-old inmate who was attacked to a location within the Woodbury NJ jail “with the purpose to injure” him and then refused to stop the subsequent assault, according to the criminal complaint. The victim has been moved to another facility. As indicated by the aggravated assault charge, he suffered injuries in the attack, which did not involve weapons.

Bail was set for Hahn at $25,000 cash, which he posted.

An investigation into the incident by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office is continuing.
