A San Francisco sheriff 's deputy who was accused of forcing inmates to perform sex acts on him in 2006 is now alleged to have organized 'gladiator style ' fights between prisoners . Deputy Scott Neu was accused of orchestrating two fights at County Jail No . 4 between inmates Ricardo Palikiko Garcia and Stanley Harris as deputies placed bets on the outcome , Jeff Adachi , the city 's public defender , said on Thursday . Three other deputies Evan Staehely , Eugene Jones and Clifford Chiba have also been accused of forcing the inmates to fight . The alleged matches took place in March when Garcia and Harris were promised hamburgers if they won , or were threatened with Mace , handcuffed beatings and transfers to dangerous housing quarters if they refused to fight , according to a report . Scroll down for video . San Francisco public defender Jeff Adachi ( above during a press conference on March 26 , 2015 ) has alleged that Deputy Scott Neu is ringleader behind organized fights between inmates that took place in March . Neu was the subject of two sexual assault lawsuits in 2006 and 2008 , which were settled out of court . All four deputies have been placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation . 'These revelations are sickening , ' said Adachi . 'Deputy Neu forced these young men to participate in gladiator-style fights for his own sadistic entertainment . ' Ricardo Palikiko Garcia , 23 , pictured , said Neu forced him to fight and promised him hamburgers if he won and beatings if he refused . Garcia , 23 , told investigators that he does not know why Neu does it but believes he gets a kick out of it , according to the San Francisco Chronicle . 'It looks like it brings him joy by doing this , while we ’ re suffering by what he ’ s doing , ' he said . Garcia , who weighs 150-lb , said he was forced twice to fight Harris , who weights 350-lb . Both men were injured in the bouts but were threatened with beatings if they sought medical treatment . In a recorded conversation with Adachi , Harris said that Neu , as part of 'training ' , made him do 200 push-ups within an hour , and also threatened to anally rape him . He also said Neu had a tattoo reading '850 Mob ' in reference to the address of the county jail at 850 Bryant Street . Another inmate , Jonathan Christopher , said that Neu carried dice and playing cards he would use to make inmates gamble against him for benefits such as food and clean laundry . Adachi said he went public with details from the report prepared by private investigator Barry Simon to forestall a planned jailhouse fight meant to take place next week . He hired Simon after a public defender heard about the fights from Garcia 's father on March 12 . Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi ( above speaking during the press conference on Thursday ) has moved both Garcia and Harris from the jail and said he does not accept the alleged barbaric behavior in the county jail system . The San Francisco Deputy Sheriff 's Association called the allegations 'exaggerated ' and that the fighting was 'little more than horseplay ' . ' ( Adachi ) has done a cursory sham investigation by interviewing a few inmates over a scant two days rather than having the decency to request a serious impartial investigation , ' said Harry Stern , an attorney for the deputy 's union . 'It is unfortunate that Mr. Adachi didn ’ t initiate a formal complaint that would have been investigated thoroughly by the appropriate agencies . 'The investigators would have had the opportunity to interview witnesses , including the accused deputies , and look for physical evidence . ' San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi said he does not accept any kind of culture within the county jail system that reports such barbaric and unlawful activities , according to ABC . Mirkarimi has moved the affected inmates to another facility , and Adachi has called for an investigation by state or federal officials . Another inmate said they had to bet Neu for benefits such as food and clean laundry . Adachi made the information public once he got word that there was another planned fight meant to take place next week ( above County Jail No . 4 )
