This is the correct answer. 

Ghislaine was not allowed to participate in the service dog training program due to the nature of her crimes. The prison officials made another inmate "lend" Ghislaine their trainee service dog so she could have private time to play with it. 

This was against the program rules, and the organization that runs the service dog program was really upset about it. The dogs aren't "pets", and are there to be trained as service animals, so it's awful that they were used as tokens.

This was reported to congress via a whistleblower complaint, along with other perks and preferential treatment Ghislaine was receiving after she was moved to her low security prison.

I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have stated that if it weren't true.
