In a twist straight out of a soap opera, Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, from Fulham, finds herself in the hot seat after a video allegedly showing her, a prison officer, getting very friendly with an inmate went viral. The clip, which seems to have been filmed inside HMP Wandsworth, has set social media ablaze.
The Met police didn’t waste any time, arresting De Sousa Abreu on Friday after the spicy footage made its rounds. Charged with misconduct in public office, she’s set to make a courtroom cameo at Uxbridge magistrates court on Monday.
Where to watch the video?
Curious minds looking to see what all the fuss is about will find the video making its rounds on xfree.com, the go-to place for scandalous leaks. Watch the full leak video here.
Jailhouse rock, but not as you know It
The video allegedly starts with the officer in full uniform, a scene straight out of a risqué Halloween party gone wrong. This scandal comes hot on the heels of a scathing report by prisons watchdog Charlie Taylor, who described Wandsworth’s conditions as "chaotic" with staff struggling to keep track of inmates.
Governor Katie Price must have seen this coming—she resigned during the inspection. Wandsworth prison has had a rocky year, what with the daring escape of Daniel Khalife, who channeled his inner Jason Bourne by hitching a ride under a delivery van.
So, if you’re after a bit of mid-summer drama, keep an eye on xfree.com for the clip that’s got everyone talking. And remember, when it comes to Wandsworth, expect the unexpected!
