A prison officer's been jailed for 15 months after having sex with an inmate in south London
Linda De Sousa Abreu who worked at Wandsworth was charged after a video of the activity was shared on social media.
The 30 year old from Fulham pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office.
A police investigation was launched after officers were made aware of the footage
De Sousa Abreu was arrested and admitted the offence at Isleworth Crown Court, in July last year.
She appeared at the same court on Monday, where she was sentenced to 15 months in prison.
The charge says that De Sousa Abreu "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".
It happened at Wandsworth between June 26 and 28.
She was arrested at Heathrow Airport and was due to catch a flight to Madrid, having notified the prison of her travel plans.
