Prison officers can still have OnlyFans accounts despite a woman guard being jailed for making a sex tape with a convicted burglar in his cell at HMP Wandsworth.
Swinger Linda De Sousa Abreu was able to gain the trusted position despite starring in live videos on the website, which described her as a ‘happily married sexy Latina’.
And the 31-year-old’s raunchy alter-ego was only revealed when a video of her having sex with one of her inmates went viral on social media.
It is now understood that just because someone applying for a job within the Prison Service has an OnlyFans account they will not necessarily be rejected from a potential job.
The subscriber-site is known for its blue content – but also hosts the work of content creators including fitness experts and musicians.
The content of the account would be reviewed, and if the nature of the material were to be explicit they would be rejected from the job.
Recruiters did not spot De Sousa Abreu’s account because she set it up under a pseudonym, the prison service have since revealed, and they did not find any content of concern under her name.
But since her case they have now strengthened their checks – making them more robust and battling to find suspect information even when it has been published under a pseudonym.
A Prison Service Spokesperson said: ‘Content was published under an alias and as such was not identified via our usual vetting checks.
‘We have since strengthened our procedures to help us identify and refuse applicants who fall below our high-standards.’
De Sousa Abreu – who lived with her partner and their seven-year-old daughter – admitted misconduct in a public office and was jailed on Monday for 15 months.
Fresh details of the case began to emerge yesterday morning after the sentencing remarks of judge Martin Edmunds KC were released in full.
Venezuelan-born De Sousa Abreu was seen by Dr Iain Kooyman, a consultant forensic psychiatrist who prepared a report for sentencing – and it disclosed new details of her mindset.
Dr Kooyman revealed that she told him that she ‘loved’ Weirich, who himself had a heavily pregnant girlfriend at the time.
The psychiatrist, who found she suffered from severe borderline personality disorder and ADHD, said she told him she had never felt as safe as when she was with Weirich.
And she planned for their liaison to continue on the outside after his release.
Weirich is serving a four-and-a-half year sentence for swiping £65,000 worth of valuables from a safe in a flat in Kensington.
It was the second time she had had sex with him and followed a secret tryst earlier that same day when she had performed oral sex on him.
The X-rated clip – filmed by another prisoner – was leaked online and widely shared on social media.
Mr Edmunds KC said Dr Kooyman had diagnosed De Sousa Abreu with a severe borderline personality disorder which, combined with ADHD, made her ‘highly impulsive’ and reckless and made her act ‘without considering the consequences’ but he concluded that she was responsible for her actions.
He added that since the explicit recording had gone viral, female prison officers at HMP Wandsworth had been subject to abuse and harassment by inmates who now see them as ‘fair game’.
Mr Edmunds KC told Isleworth Crown Court: ‘The consequence of the recording going viral, a result that you did not intend but which was certainly a consequence of your offence, has been that prison officers have faced heckling and harassment.
‘They have been confronted with sexualised images falsely suggesting that your conduct is typical.
‘Children of your fellow female prison officers have been teased as to what their mothers may do at work.
‘It is inevitable that the damage for which you were responsible at Wandsworth has spread, to some degree, through the prison estate.
‘It will impact on the reputation of the prison service and, with that, the prospects of recruiting and retaining staff.
‘It causes anxiety among those close to vulnerable prisoners who worry more about the environment in which prisoners are held.
‘That recording is still out there and will doubtless circulate indefinitely.’
De Sousa Abreu was filmed performing a sex act on Weirich before engaging in full intercourse with him on June 25, 2024.
Dressed in full prison uniform, she first discarded her radio – which crackled throughout the four-and-a-half minute clip with inaudible messages from colleagues – before being recorded by a cannabis-smoking friend of Weirich.
When she realised that the clip had gone public, De Sousa Abreu tried to flee to Spain and travelled with her father to Heathrow Airport.
She called a HMP Wandsworth night officer and said: ‘I am not coming back to work, I am never returning to Wandsworth. I am at the airport. I have a family emergency.’
She said her husband would return her things, but was stopped by police at a departure gate at Heathrow’s Terminal Five before she could board a flight to Madrid.
