A WOMAN is set to appear in court today charged with misconduct after a video allegedly showed a prison officer having sex with an inmate.
Linda De Sousa Abreu was held after the clip shot in Wandsworth Prison was widely shared on social media.
The 30-year-old is set to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court today charged with misconduct in public office.
The Met Police launched an investigation on Friday “after officers were made aware of a video allegedly filmed inside HMP Wandsworth”.
De Sousa Abreu was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office the same day.
The married woman is originally from Brazil and shares an OnlyFans account with her husband.
A Met Police spokesman said: “A police investigation was launched on June 28 after officers were made aware of a video filmed inside HMP Wandsworth.
“A woman was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office later that day.
“Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, of Fulham, was charged on June 29 with misconduct in public office. She will appear in custody at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Monday, July 1.”
A Prison Service spokesman said: “Staff corruption is not tolerated and the former prison officer allegedly featured in this video has been reported to the police.
“It would be inappropriate to comment further while they investigate.”
