A prison guard filmed having sex with a burglar in his cell has been jailed for 15 months after admitting another incident with the same inmate on the same day.
Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, from Fulham, appeared in an explicit video filmed inside HMP Wandsworth prison, south London, which went viral online last year.
The prison guard, dressed in full uniform, was filmed by another prisoner having sex with Linton Weirich, 36, in June, with what the judge described as “obvious enthusiasm” .
She was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court on Monday 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 in a Channel 4 TV series about swinging, had previously pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office.

Sentencing her, Judge Martin Edmunds KC, Registrar of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, said a fellow prisoner, who has not been named, filmed the tryst on an “unauthorized phone” while appearing to smoke cannabis.
“The recording lasts approximately four and a half minutes,” the judge said. “You participated with obvious enthusiasm. The second prisoner recorded the events and provided commentary in encouragement, including saying: “Guys, we’ve made history”, “This is how we live in Wandsworth bruv” and “You know you’re a gangsta.”
Judge Edmunds said Abreu also admitted to two other sexual liaisons with Weirich, a convicted burglar, one of which was accidentally recorded on his body-worn camera.
“One of them performed oral sex on the same prisoner on a different occasion on the same day, an event partly recorded, by accident, on your prison’s body-worn camera,” he said. he declared.
“The other was a previous occasion of sexual intercourse with the same prisoner.”
He added: “They show this offense was not isolated. This was part of a repeated pattern of behavior. It’s unclear exactly when the first offense occurred, so I assume the repeat occurred within a few days.

Judge Edmunds said Abreu “knew that this conduct was prohibited and prohibited for good reason” and that it placed “his fellow officers at increased risk.”
“It is inevitable that the damage you are responsible for at Wandsworth has spread, to some extent, throughout the prison,” he said.
In a statement previously read to the court, Andrew Davy, governor of HMP Wandsworth, said his actions had “undone years” of efforts to increase male prisoners’ respect for female police officers.
“It took many years for female staff to be respected and treated professionally in a male-dominated environment,” he said. “This defendant’s action destroyed years of positive and enriching interactions with prisoners 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 finding that she suffered from a “serious personality disorder” that, combined with ADHD, made her a “very impulsive and reckless person who tends to act out without considering the consequences.
“(The doctor) then concludes that Ms. Abreu is a very emotional and damaged person who, over the years, has increasingly used sex as a way to feel positive emotions,” he told the court.
“We argue on his behalf that the mental disorder should, in all honesty, significantly reduce his culpability in this matter.”
Abreu was on the verge of tears as Judge Edmunds sentenced her.
“The sentence imposed on you is 15 months’ imprisonment,” he said. “Of this amount, you will spend half in detention, unless the prison authorities decide to release you early. The rest you will serve under license.
“You have been subject to a qualifying curfew for 190 days and this entitles you to a 95-day credit against that sentence. »
