Officials said Kuryanova sexually assaulted the two boys, ages 16 and 17, at the juvenile detention center on Hamtramck Drive in Hamtramck around 7 p.m. on April 8.

Kuryanova was working as a juvenile corrections specialist at the time of the attack, officials said.

“The allegations in this case are among the most disturbing I have ever seen,” said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy. “I find it difficult to imagine that this happened in a juvenile detention center and that the accused defendant is allegedly responsible for this illegal behavior.”
