Lovestruck prison officer had phone sex with dangerous gangster and sent him steamy letters about their ‘romps'
Megann Gibson embarked on an illicit relationship with the lag while working at HM Prison Wealstun in West Yorkshire.

The 26-year-old allowed the unnamed prisoner into restricted areas of the category C jail and visited him at his resettlement accommodation.
Gibson also sent his mum more than 900 messages in an apparent bid to keep in touch with the inmate.
The rookie officer was due to be sentenced today after pleading guilty to misconduct in a public office and possession of cannabis.
But she is now set to be jailed in November after the hearing was adjourned.
The charge states that she engaged in an "inappropriate relationship" with the serving prisoner.
This includes having "sexual communications via telephone".
Wealstun houses around 900 prisoners and offers training courses to help with rehabilitation.
Leeds Crown Court heard that in just five months of working at the Category C resettlement prison, her behaviour triggered 102 anti-corruption intelligence reports.
The red flags equated to almost one every working day, Judge Kate Rayfield noted.
Prosecutor Louise Pryke told the court that in one letter the criminal thanked Gibson for a vape and described enjoying their kisses.
She said: "I don't know if they had sex or not.
"It seems from the content of the letters that they did."
Ms Pryke added: "This was an inappropriate relationship with a prisoner which included very explicit letters that were sent about sexual activity.
"The nature of the letters [suggests] there probably was [sexual activity], but the crown can't say for definite.
"It's a wholly inappropriate relationship with a serving prisoner who is a member of an organised crime group. There's some suggestion she met with members of that group."
Following her arrest, police discovered £1,000 in cash, which Gibson claimed to have withdrawn from her bank to save for a tattoo, but checks revealed the money was never taken out.
A hearing will be held in November to determine the basis on which her sentencing should proceed.

Council faces wait for ruling on asylum seekers hotel injunction bid
A council will discover on Tuesday whether it has been successful in a bid to temporarily block asylum seekers from being housed at an Essex hotel. Epping Forest District Council is seeking an interim injunction stopping migrants from being accommodated at the Bell Hotel in Epping, which is owned by Somani Hotels Limited. It comes following a series of protests in recent weeks outside the hotel after an asylum seeker who was housed at the hotel was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. At a hearing on Friday, barristers for the council claimed Somani Hotels breached planning rules as the site is not being used for its intended purpose as a hotel, and that the situation 'could not be much worse'. The injunction sought by the authority, if granted, would require the company to stop housing asylum seekers at the hotel within 14 days. Barristers for the company said the 'draconian' move would cause 'hardship' for those inside the hotel, and that 'political views' were not grounds for an injunction to be granted. They also said that contracts to house asylum seekers were a 'financial lifeline' for the hotel, which was only 1% full in August 2022, when it was open to paying customers. At the end of the hearing, Mr Justice Eyre said: 'I am not going to close my notebook and give a decision now. 'I am going to reflect on this, but we need a decision sooner rather than later.' The judge later said that he would give a ruling at 2pm on Tuesday. He also ordered that Somani Hotels could not 'accept any new applications' from asylum seekers to stay at the site until he had ruled on whether to grant the temporary injunction. The hotel has become the focal point of a series of protests after Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was charged with trying to kiss a teenage girl. Kebatu, who was housed at the hotel at the time of the incident, denies the allegations and is due to stand trial later this month. Opening the hearing in London, Philip Coppel KC, for the council, said the authority had a 'very serious problem' which was 'getting out of hand' and causing 'great anxiety' to residents. He said this had been caused by a 'breach of planning control' by the company, with the site 'no more a hotel than a borstal to a young offender' for asylum seekers. In written submissions, Mr Coppel said there was a 'preponderance of factors overwhelmingly in favour of granting an injunction', which included removing 'the catalyst for violent protests in public places'. Concluding his submissions, Mr Coppel told Mr Justice Eyre that if an injunction was not granted, 'Your Lordship will be telling the residents in Epping: 'You have just got to lump it'.' Piers Riley-Smith, representing Somani Hotels, told the court in written submissions that the alleged planning breach was 'not flagrant' and that it was 'entirely wrong' for the council to 'suggest the use has been hidden from them'. The barrister told the court the hotel previously housed asylum seekers from May 2020 to March 2021, and from October 2022 to April 2024. He also said that while the company did apply for planning permission for a 'temporary change of use' in February 2023, this was a 'pragmatic attempt to address the claimant's concerns, rather than an acceptance that such a use required planning permission'. This application was later withdrawn as it had not been determined by April 2024, the barrister said. Asylum seekers then began being placed in the Bell Hotel again in April 2025, with Mr Riley-Smith stating a planning application was not made 'having taken advice from the Home Office'. In court, he said that while there were genuine concerns among local residents, these had 'expanded' to include 'concerns about wider ideological and political issues from those outside the community'. He continued that these 'particular ideological, non-community concerns are not relevant to planning', and that the concerns of local residents did not 'justify' a temporary injunction.

Andrew Tate's £180,000 Aston Martin supercar deposit seized by police
Police have seized £180,000 from social media influencer Andrew Tate used as a deposit on an Aston Martin. Tate paid towards the special edition Valhalla in July 2021, Devon and Cornwall Police said. A version of the £850,000 supercar appeared in the James Bond film No Time to Die. Cash used to pay the deposit came from tax evasion and money laundering, the force said. The six-figure sum can be added to the £2.7 million worth of criminal funds seized in December 2024 from Tate and his brother Tristan. Police obtained account freezing and forfeiture orders at Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier this week. The Tate brothers did not oppose the orders. Half of the funds can be distributed to good causes by the force, while the treasury will receive the other half. The cash deposited with Aston Martin originally came from a cryptocurrency account, police said. No tax or VAT had ever been paid on these funds. Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft said: 'This latest judgement follows on from our applications made against the Tate brothers which resulted in a successful ruling in December 2024 and the forfeiture of nearly £2.7 million of criminal funds. 'From the outset we aimed to demonstrate that Andrew and Tristan Tate evaded their tax obligations and laundered money. ' People in Devon and Cornwall will benefit from the money seized and it will be reinvested to help prevent crime, aid victims and vulnerable people, and to boost good causes.'

Children's video game branded ‘perfect place for paedophiles'
A video game played by millions of children in the UK is the 'perfect place for paedophiles' and 'fails to implement basic safety controls', a US state lawsuit has claimed. Roblox has become a 'breeding ground for sex predators' where child abusers 'thrive, unite, hunt and victimise our kids', according to Liz Murrill, the Republican attorney general of Louisiana. The lawsuit alleged that 'far from creating a safe place for children' Roblox, which has an age rating of seven in the UK, had 'provided a perfect place for paedophiles' that 'lacks safety features to protect children from predators and lacks warnings for parents and child users'. The video game, which is played by an estimated 61pc of British children aged between eight and 14, allows children to build virtual worlds and customised games that they can share with others. It has more than 380 million players globally and is one of the world's most popular video games among children, allowing children under the age of 13. It has almost 5 million players in the UK alone. However Roblox – which can be played on consoles, PCs and smartphones – has long faced claims that abusers have targeted the game to attempt to contact children. According to the lawsuit, for many years most of Roblox's parental controls within the game were off by default, even when the account was linked to a child. Child users could easily chat to others with no parental oversight and potentially be directed away from the game onto other messaging apps. Its settings allowed adults to 'easily communicate with children ... creating a virtual world where predators can freely target and groom children', the lawsuit claimed. Children were also able to access games with adult themes, according to a report by an investment firm last year. These included user-generated games such as 'Escape to Epstein Island'. Roblox, which was founded in 2004 and is now valued at more than $80bn (£59bn), tightened up many of its parental settings in November last year after a series of reports detailed instances of predators targeting children in the game. Children under the age of 13 now need parental permission to access most of its messaging features and parents can add screen time limits or monitor friend lists. The Louisiana lawsuit alleged that, in July, a man suspected of possessing child-abuse material was arrested while 'actively using' Roblox and a 'voice-alerting technology designed to mimic the voice of a young female'. A Roblox spokesman said: 'We can't comment on pending litigation. But we dedicate substantial resources, including advanced technology and 24/7 human moderation, to help detect and prevent inappropriate content and behaviour, including attempts to direct users off platform, where safety standards and moderation may be less stringent than ours. 'While no system is perfect, Roblox has implemented rigorous technology and enforcement safeguards, including restrictions on sharing personal information, links, and user-to-user image sharing. The safety of our community is a top priority.' In July, Roblox added additional age verification checks in the UK in response to the Online Safety Act. These require users to undergo an age estimation check to access additional online chat features.
