Linda De Sousa Abreu, a former prison officer at HMP Wandsworth, United Kingdom, has been sentenced to 15 months in prison after being caught on camera having s+x with an inmate.
Abreu, 30, was identified by senior staff after the video circulated online and gained widespread attention.
Arrested at Heathrow Airport while attempting to board a flight to Madrid with her father, Abreu had earlier pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office, BBC reports.
The incident occurred between June 26 and June 28 at Wandsworth Prison.
The court also heard that a second video showing Abreu engaging in a s+xual act with the same inmate was discovered on her prison-issued body-worn camera. She admitted to having s+x with the prisoner on another occasion.
Judge Martin Edmunds KC confirmed that the viral video was not an isolated event, but part of a pattern of repeated behaviour.
A spokesperson for the Prison Service said: “While the overwhelming majority of Prison Service staff are hardworking and honest, we’re catching more of the small minority who break the rules by bolstering our Counter Corruption Unit and strengthening our vetting processes.
As today’s sentencing demonstrates, where officers do fall below our high standards we won’t hesitate to take robust action.”
