King County public defender Theresa Olson has agreed to be placed on leave and has been barred from detention facilities while officials investigate reports she had sex in the King County Jail with her client, a murder defendant.

Sources say Olson, 43, was discovered having sexual intercourse with inmate Sebastian Burns, her client, in an interview room Saturday morning. The jail has filed a complaint with the Washington Bar Association.
