A prison officer filmed having sex with a burglar in his prison cell has been jailed for 15 months after admitting another incident with the same inmate on the same day.
Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, of Fulham, appeared in an explicit video filmed inside HMP Wandsworth prison in south London which went viral online last year.
The prison officer, wearing full uniform, was filmed by another prisoner having sex with Linton Weirich, 36, in June, with what the judge described as “evident enthusiasm”.
She was sentenced on Monday at Isleworth crown court to 15 months in prison, half of which will be served on licence, after admitting three separate sexual encounters with the convicted burglar.
Abreu, an OnlyFans model who also appeared on a Channel 4 television series about swinging, previously pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office.
Sentencing her, Judge Martin Edmunds KC, the Recorder of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, said a fellow prisoner, who was not named, filmed the tryst on an “unauthorised phone” while appearing to smoke cannabis.
“The recording lasts some four-and-a-half minutes,” the judge said. “You participated with evident enthusiasm. The second prisoner recorded events and provided a commentary by way of encouragement, including saying: ‘Guys we made history’, ‘This is how we live at Wandsworth bruv’, and ‘You know you are a gangsta’.”
Judge Edmunds said Abreu had also admitted two other sexual liaisons with Weirich, a convicted burglar, one of which was accidentally recorded on her bodyworn camera.
“One was performing oral sex on the same prisoner on a separate occasion on the same day, an event partly recorded, by accident, on your prison issued body worn camera,” he said.
“The other was a previous occasion of sexual intercourse with the same prisoner.”
He added: “They show that this offence was not isolated. It was part of repeated behaviour. It is not clear when the earliest offence occurred so I shall assume the repetition was within a few days.”
Judge Edmunds said Abreu “knew that conduct was forbidden and forbidden for good reason” and that it had put “fellow officers at increased risk”.
“It is inevitable that the damage for which you were responsible at Wandsworth has spread, to some degree, through the prison estate,” he said.

In a statement earlier read to the court, Andrew Davy, the governor of HMP Wandsworth, said her actions had “undone years” of efforts to increase male prisoners’ respect for female officers.
“It has taken many years for female staff to be respected and treated professionally in a male dominated environment,” he said. “The action of this defendant has undone years of positive and rewarding prisoner interactions in less than a day.”
Rajiv Menon KC, representing Abreu, told the court she accepted “full responsibility” for her actions.
He asked that her sentence be reduced, citing a psychiatric report that found she had a “severe personality disorder” that combined with ADHD made her a “highly impulsive and reckless person who tends to act without considering the consequences”.
“(The doctor) then concludes that Ms Abreu is a highly emotional, damaged individual who over the years has increasingly used sex as a means to feel positive emotions,” he told the court.
“We submit on her behalf that the mental disorder should in all fairness significantly reduce her culpability in this case.”
Abreu was close to tears as Judge Edmunds sentenced her.
“The sentence on you is one of 15 months’ imprisonment,” he said. “Of that you will serve half in custody, unless the prison authorities decide to release you earlier. The remainder you will serve on licence.
“You have been subject to a qualifying curfew for 190 days and that entitles you to a credit of 95 days against that sentence.”

Nurse raped colleague after threatening her with sack

A nurse who raped a vulnerable colleague after threatening her with the sack if she did not perform sex acts has been jailed for almost eight years.
Naijil Paul also sexually assaulted two other young women while working as a care home manager in North Lanarkshire.
He was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow to seven years and nine months in jail, having been extradited back to Scotland from India for the trial.
Paul admitted to the crimes at a hearing in October, but the court heard that despite his guilty pleas he had shown “quite a degree of victim blaming” in a pre-sentencing report – to the extent he claimed he thought he was doing one of the women a favour.
The court heard the 47-year-old ordered the rape victim to “do what I want” or said she would face the sack.
The 26-year-old victim had returned from sick leave in April 2018, and had told a senior colleague that her debt was a significant factor in coming back.
A week later, Paul entered the woman’s office while she was alone and closed the door.
He told her that she was at risk of losing her job due to the amount of time she had off. He said that he was aware of her financial problems and that she could be evicted from her home with her children.
He told her to “do what I want” and referred to a sex act then stated her job would be safe if she did this. He added that if she refused, it would be her fault her children would be homeless.
After raping her, he told her not to tell anyone as “no one will believe you and your job won’t be safe”.
The woman burst into tears and fled.
She went off on sick leave again and did not tell anyone what happened until a police probe into Paul’s offending.
Attacks on other colleagues
The hearing was told about a 19-year-old care assistant who Paul tried to kiss, after placed his hands on her hips.
