A prison guard has been sentenced to 15 months for filming a sexual encounter with an inmate at HMP Wandsworth, raising serious concerns.
London: A prison guard named Linda De Sousa Abreu has been sentenced to 15 months in jail for filming a sexual encounter with an inmate. This incident took place at HMP Wandsworth, and it has caused quite a stir.
Linda was caught on camera getting intimate with burglar Linton Weirich while still in her uniform. The video, filmed by another inmate, spread like wildfire on social media.
She was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court after admitting to misconduct in a public office. The judge pointed out how her actions could damage the reputation of the prison service.
Linda will serve half of her sentence in custody and the rest on license. The judge emphasized the high level of harm her actions caused, especially concerning the safety of vulnerable prisoners.
Interestingly, this wasn’t her first encounter with Weirich. Authorities found footage of her engaging in sexual acts with him earlier that same day, which she accidentally recorded on her body camera.
Linda, who is married and shares an OnlyFans account with her husband, was arrested at Heathrow Airport while trying to flee to Madrid. She claimed she was acting under duress in the video, but later retracted that statement.
The court heard that her actions have made female staff at the prison feel unsafe, as inmates now see them as “fair game.” The governor of HMP Wandsworth expressed concern about the long-term impact on the prison environment.
In her defense, it was mentioned that Linda has been diagnosed with severe borderline personality disorder and ADHD, which contributed to her actions. She even appeared on a TV show about swinging, showcasing her lifestyle.
Overall, this incident has raised serious questions about the conduct of prison staff and the safety of inmates, making it a hot topic in the news.
