"I Did Not Have Sex with that Inmate, Mr. Lewinsky"

A jail captain accused of fondling teenage inmates on Rikers Island has been arrested after a month-long investigation, officials said yesterday.

Allegations against Capt. Dominick .Labruzzi, who worked at the only adolescent jail on Rikers, arose in late December.

Eight male inmates, ages 16 to 19, told investigators Labruzzi took them to locked areas of the jail, including a secluded basement section, touched some through their clothes and forced others to disrobe.

"They were like that when I found them," Labruzzi didn't say from his parents' home, where he was arrested, "especially the ones with the real purty mouths."
