UK Female Prison Cop Had Phone Sex With Inmate, Flooded His Mother With Over 900 Messages
The 26-year-old visited the inmate at his resettlement housing, granted him access to restricted areas of the prison, and had sexual encounters with him.
A female prison officer who engaged in phone sex with an inmate has admitted to public misconduct and now faces jail time. Megann Gibson, who worked at HM Prison Wealstun in West Yorkshire, was attracted to the prisoner.
The 26-year-old visited the inmate at his resettlement housing, granted him access to restricted areas of the prison, and had sexual encounters with him during her employment.
To maintain their affair, she also sent over 900 messages to his mother when it seemed to be falling apart.
Gibson has pleaded guilty to misconduct in public service and faces imprisonment. She also admitted to possessing cannabis. Her sentencing is expected in August, according to The Telegraph.
The judge at Leeds Crown Court in West Yorkshire warned Gibson of a possible prison sentence. She was released on unconditional bail, but the judge stressed the seriousness of her offense. She has been suspended from her job at Wealstun, a Category C prison.
The charges state that Gibson had 'sexual communications via telephone" as part of an 'inappropriate relationship" with the inmate during her employment at HM Prison Wealstun.
Her defense attorney stated that she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from a past relationship and undergoing various mental health diagnoses.
Gibson is the latest female prison guard in the UK to be dismissed for an illegal relationship with an inmate.
In May, Isabelle Dale, 23, was charged for having sex with two inmates and conspiring to smuggle drugs into the high-security prison in Kent, Southeast London.
Another prison guard, Toni Cole, was sentenced to one year in prison after admitting to an 'inappropriate" affair with a 28-year-old inmate at HMP Five Wells in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.
According to the New York Post, at least 29 female prison guards in the UK have been terminated for inappropriate interactions with inmates in the last three years.
