Female prison officer 'had behind-bars fling with convicted robber at same time as affair with man jailed for killing his best friend in 147mph police chase crash'
A prison officer accused of having sexual relationships with two inmates will face a trial in October.
Isabelle Dale, 23, allegedly had a fling with convicted robber Shahid Sharif, 33, between 1 September 2021 and 31 December 2022.
Dale is also accused of having a sexual relationship with a second jailhouse lover, Connor Money, 28, at the same time.
Money was serving nine years for killing his best friend in a car crash while escaping police at 147mph.
Dale is also accused of conspiring to smuggle drugs into HMP Swaleside in Kent - the high security jail where Sharif was locked up.
She appeared at Southwark Crown Court charged with two counts of misconduct in a public office in relation to the relationship with Sharif and Money.
The first charge alleges she '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 having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a serving prisoner by the name of Shahid Sharif.'
The second misconduct charge alleges she had a sexual relationship with Money between 1 September 2021 and 31 December 2022.
Dale, of Portsmouth, is charged with conspiring together with Sharif, Lilea Sallis, and others unknown to bring controlled drugs into Swaleside.
Wearing a smart black blazer, she was bailed today ahead of a plea and trial preparation hearing on Friday 6 June at the same court.
Judge Justin Cole set a trial date for 21 October 2025 to last between two and three weeks.
Sharif and Sallis, 27, of Brighton, are charged with conspiring with Dale and others unknown to bring controlled drugs into Category B prison Swaleside.
The 27-year-old, wearing a white top, was also bailed for a plea and trial preparation at the same court in two weeks time.
Sharif, who was on a video-link from HMP Manchester, is also charged with possessing a mobile phone in HMP Brixton and HMP Wandsworth between 1 September 2021 and 31 December 2022.
Dale describes herself on the website 'topline.com' as 'a seasoned Prison Officer with 2 years of experience, holds a degree in Criminology and Law from City of Portsmouth College, and is proficient in English and Maths.'

Three teenage girls plead guilty to killing of 75-year-old man in north London street
Three teenage girls have pleaded guilty to the 'senseless' killing of a 75-year-old man in a street attack in north London filmed on a mobile phone. Fredi Rivero, a Bolivian national, was attacked by the teenagers, aged 15, 16 and 17, in Islington on 27 February, and died in hospital the next day. Rivero, who has been described as a 'much-loved family man', was near a bus stop on Seven Sisters Road when the girls got off a bus and surrounded him. His glasses were stolen, and he was pushed, shoved, kicked and punched while one of the teenagers filmed the incident on her phone. Police officers later recovered CCTV footage of the assault in which the 17-year-old girl could be seen punching Rivero in the head, causing him to fall backwards. He was found unconscious by police with a severe head injury and in cardiac arrest at 11.25pm on the night of the attack. DI Devan Taylor from Scotland Yard said: 'Mr Rivero was a much-loved family man who died in a truly tragic incident. I know how much his death has impacted those close to him and the wider community. 'I would like to offer my heartfelt sympathy to Mr Rivero's family for their loss and express my admiration for the dignity they have shown throughout the investigation. I also wish to thank the members of public who went to Mr Rivero's aid as he lay injured. 'The young defendants have now accepted they were responsible for the killing of Mr Rivero, in what was a senseless and completely out of the blue attack on a lone, elderly man. The age of the defendants adds to the devastating nature of this incident and they will now have to deal with the enormity of their actions.' Appearing before the Old Bailey via video link, the teenagers, who cannot be identified because of their ages, pleaded guilty to manslaughter. They will be sentenced by judge Judy Khan KC on 5 September. The victim's daughter, ex-wife and cousins were in court for the hearing. Khan ordered reports and remanded the defendants into custody, to be sentenced on 5 September.
