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

Married ex-prison officer who had sex with inmate free months after being jailed
Linda de Sousa Abreu, 31, from Fulham, southwest London, was jailed after being filmed having sex with an inmate at HMP Wandsworth where she was working as a prison officer A married former prison officer who was jailed after being filmed having sex with an inmate has now been freed, just five months after being sentenced. Linda de Sousa Abreu, 31, was given a 15 month sentence after the video was shared on social media, and she has now been released early after serving just five months. A police investigation was launched after officers were made aware of the footage from inside HMP Wandsworth in south London. The mother-of-one, was arrested and pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office at Isleworth Crown Court in July last year. And she appeared at the same court on January 6, wearing a grey suit and white shirt, where she was given her sentence and told half would be served in custody, with the rest on licence. She was also entitled to a reduction of 95 days after it was revealed she had been wearing an electronic tag for 190 days. Following her release ex-Met Police detective Peter Bleksley was critical of the release. He told The Sun: 'This is a shocking example of soft justice. Where's the deterrent when sentences and time served are as short as this?' During her sentencing, Judge Martin Edmunds KC had told de Sousa Abreu: 'You engaged in sexual activity with a prisoner. That compromised your role as an officer, and was misconduct which undermines discipline within the prison, and puts fellow officers at increased risk. You knew that conduct was forbidden and forbidden for good reason.' The charge said that she had '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'. The court heard that de Sousa Abreu from Fulham, southwest London, who had a history of poor mental health and trauma, had consented to sexual activity with Linton Weirich at Wandsworth on June 25 2024. She also agreed to a second prisoner being present and filming the activity while appearing to smoke cannabis. The second prisoner later sent the video to a friend who shared it on X, formerly known as Twitter. de Sousa Abreu also asked Judge Edmunds to consider two further offences, one being sexual activity with the same prisoner earlier that day and the other being a separate sexual encounter with Weirich within at least three to four days of the main offence. After seeing the clip had gone viral, the prison officer attempted to fly to Madrid and later Madeira, where she had family, to wait for things to 'calm down'. She was arrested at Heathrow Airport after notifying the prison of her travel plans. Judge Edmunds said: 'From what I know about you, you were certainly not naive about the media or social media. It must have been obvious that the recording would be shown around and shared, at least amongst prisoners at Wandsworth where it would do the most harm. 'Whether you intended it or not, the fact is that the video went viral, and caused great harm. Many offenders do not intend the harm that their offending causes, but they nevertheless bear responsibility for it.' Victim impact statements read out on behalf of members of the Prison Service, including the current governor of Wandsworth, heard how the defendant's actions had led to female officers at the prison being 'subject to abuse and harassment from prisoners' as well as being subjected to sexual approaches and being seen as 'fair game'. Some female officers claimed their children have been subjected to teasing at school over what their mothers may do at work, the court heard. Judge Edmunds concluded: '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.' A Prison Service spokesperson said at the time of the sentencing: 'While the overwhelming majority of Prison Service staff are hardworking and honest, we're catching more of the small minority who break the rules by bolstering our Counter Corruption Unit and strengthening our vetting processes. As today's sentencing demonstrates, where officers do fall below our high standards we won't hesitate to take robust action.'
