A prison officer filmed having sex with an inmate at Wandsworth Prison has pleaded guilty to misconduct.
Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, of Fulham was charged after the video, filmed in a prison cell at the end of June, was shared on social media. De Sousa Abreu was arrested shortly afterwards attempting to board a flight to Madrid at Heathrow Airport, and was charged with misconduct in public office.
At a hearing at Isleworth Crown Court, De Sousa Abreu pleaded guilty to the charge that she had “wilfully and without reasonable excuse or justification misconducted yourself in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder by engaging in a sexual act with a prisoner in a prison cell.”
