Prison officer who had sex with armed robber in cell reveals what she'll do next

Prison officer who had sex with armed robber in cell reveals what she'll do next

Metroa day ago

An ex-prison officer who was jailed for having sex with an inmate will never go back to OnlyFans and wants to change her life, her partner has revealed.
Linda de Sousa Abreu, 31, was filmed having sex with armed robber Linton Weirich while ignoring messages on her radio at Wandsworth jail in south west London last summer.
She has since been released from prison early after serving just five months of a 15-month stretch for misconduct in a public office.
Her OnlyFans page, which was set up before she became a prison guard, has since been removed and her partner said she has no plans to return to the website.
It will come as bad news to the thousands of people who subscribed to her profile, which is believed to have made her a five-figure sum annually.
Her partner, who did not want to be named, said she has not yet decided what she's going to do with her life now she's served her sentence.
Speaking from the couple's flat in Fulham, west London, he said: 'She's fine, she's just not allowed to talk. She'd be in a lot of trouble and could be sent back to prison if she did.
'She wants to stay out of trouble. She's well. She has no plans now.
'She will not return to Only Fans. I don't know if she will do any charity work.'
The man said she knew her career as a prison officer was now over and said she was apologetic over the incident.
'She can't go back to being a prison officer. She does not want to go on Love Island,' he said.
'She's very sorry for what happened.'
Neighbours in the estate in Fulham, where property prices are around £400,000, were sympathetic towards the mum-of-one.
One neighbour said: 'I just wish her the best. She obviously made a terrible mistake which she has paid for.
'I could not think of anything worse than being a prison officer, it's not a job I could do.'
After her arrest, de Sousa Abreu posted a video on Instagram saying she had closed all of her other social media accounts.
She also rebuked Only Fans creators who had uploaded videos recreating the viral clip and people who had set up fake profiles of her.
She said: 'It's a scandal that the entire world seems to have been involved in. I have not monetised this one bit. This is my only social media platform.
'Please refrain from tagging HMP Wandsworth on your stupid videos. There are other jails in the world.'
Last week she was pictured for the first time since being released from prison.
She was seen enjoying the sun in shorts, a sports bra and a bandana, with a new tattoo that read 'Amor', which is Spanish for 'love.'
De Sousa Abreu rose to fame last year after the explicit video was posted on social media.
The clip showed her having sex with the inmate in a cell while wearing her prison uniform. More Trending
In the video, a prisoner also in the cell is heard saying: 'This is how we live at Wandsworth.'
The jail was later criticised by inspectors for 'systemic and cultural failures that stemmed from poor leadership'.
Last month, the prisons watchdog published a new inspection report, dated from 31 March to 2 April this year.
It found that although the prison still had 'a long way to go', it had seen improvements, including 'a revived sense of purpose at the jail.'

Former Lord Provost contacted ex-partner 122 times during stalking campaign

A former Lord Provost of Glasgow has admitted stalking his ex-partner. Philip Braat, 49, contacted the woman 122 times between July and September 2024. The messages included claims that Braat wished to end his life as a result of the woman ending their three-year relationship. Braat has represented the Anderston/City/Yorkhill ward since 2007 and is subject to an investigation by Scottish Labour. Braat was the deputy Lord Provost in 2017 before taking on the senior role in 2020 until 2022. He left the position after the 2019 resignation of Eva Bolander amid criticism of her expenses claims. Braat was also the former convener of the Strathclyde Police Authority (SPA) and represented Glasgow at COP26. Braat was a member of the Law Society of Scotland, an honorary captain in the Royal Navy Reserves, and a member of the Glasgow Tree Lovers' Society. He pleaded guilty last month at Glasgow Sheriff Court to a single charge of stalking, and a narrative of the facts was heard on Friday. The court heard that the pair entered a relationship in 2021 and went on to live together. The woman told Braat that she was ending the relationship in July 2024. She received an email the next day from Braat, which included a purported resignation letter to his employer sent from his professional account. Prosecutor Paige Phillips said: 'The woman thought that this was fake and to get her attention as well as to make her feel guilty.' She later contacted Braat to emphasise the end of their relationship during a 'very emotional and distressing' call. The woman also stated that she did not love him and wanted to get on with her life. Braat attempted to persuade her that the pair should be together and stated that he could 'not live' without her.' He said: 'You better visit my parents and you better keep my legacy alive.' The woman believed that this was in reference to Braat ending his life, and he said: 'I don't want to live without you.' When asked if it was in reference to ending his life, Braat replied: 'Maybe.' Between July and September, the woman received 18 emails, 51 Instagram messages, 15 text messages, 37 WhatsApp messages, and a LinkedIn message. Some of the emails contained 'goodbye' letters to the woman and Braat's own family. The woman contacted the police, and Braat was traced to his parents' address, where he was found 'safe and well'. Braat's LinkedIn message, congratulating her on a professional award she received, resulted in the woman going to the police. She stated that the messages were not nasty, but there was 'no escape' from Braat, and she could 'not cope any longer'. Braat gave a 'no comment' interview to the police after his arrest. Solicitor advocate Andrew Seggie, defending, told the court: 'He was at a low point and felt suicidal, and his focus was on winning the woman back during the period of the charge. 'As a result of the passage of time, he accepts his behaviour overstepped the mark. He is genuinely remorseful. 'He was the Lord Provost during the pandemic, and he said he felt additional pressure to assist those who lost loved ones as a result of the pandemic, together with his own constituents. 'He was trying to manage this and juggle his own family issues, and the end of the relationship caused him to suffer a mental health breakdown during this period.' Sentencing was deferred again until next month by Sheriff Owen Mullan to be addressed on the terms of a non-harassment order. The sheriff stated that Braat, of the city's Broomhill, will be ordered to 60 hours of unpaid work when sentencing is imposed. Sheriff Mullan added: 'It should not have taken the passage of time and hindsight to reach the conclusion that perhaps you overstepped the mark – that is why you are here today. 'I understand that you have made it clear that it must have been traumatic and stressful for the woman concerned.'
