Linda De Sousa Abreu sentencing bombshells as deviant truth about life behind bars is exposed

An explosive video of a female prison officer having sex with an inmate in a cell sent shockwaves across the country, with many unable to believe the levels of deviancy. The officer in question, Linda De Sousa Abreu, has now been jailed for 15 months after the clip filmed inside HMP Wandsworth, in South London, went viral. The mother-of-one, from Fulham, South West London, was arrested and pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office at Isleworth Crown Court in July last year. Returning to the court this Monday, she was told she would serve half her time in custody and the rest on licence.
Judge Martin Edmunds KC told De Sousa Abreu, 34: "You engaged in sexual activity with a prisoner. That compromised your role as an officer, and was misconduct which undermines discipline within the prison, and puts fellow officers at increased risk. You knew that conduct was forbidden and forbidden for good reason.".
The bombshell court cause heard how the prison officer agreed to take part in sexual activity with Linton Weirich in his cell on June 25 last year, with a second prisoner filming it while appearing to smoke cannabis. That prisoner sent the video to a friend who shared it on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Suggesting that it wasn't an isolated incident, De Sousa Abreu also asked Judge Edmunds to consider two further offences - one being sexual activity with the same prisoner earlier that day and the other being a separate sexual encounter with Weirich within at least three to four days of the main offence.
