Female British Prison Warden Smuggled Syringe to 'Artificially Inseminate' Herself with Inmate's Semen
A female prison officer smuggled a Calpol syringe into jail to "artificially inseminate" herself with an inmate's sperm.
Cherri-Ann Austin-Saddington, 29, had a six-month relationship with inmate Bradley Trengrove while working as a warden at HMP The Verne on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England.
Austin-Saddington Smuggled the Syringe In Her Bra to 'Artifically Inseminate' Herself with Semen Trengrove Kept Wrapped in Cling Film
The warden and the inmate had more than 40 sexual encounters that took place in prison workshops while nobody was around. Austin-Saddington also became pregnant as a result but lost the baby.
After Trengrove was shifted to another prison, she visited him with an empty syringe in her bra so she could "artificially inseminate" herself with his semen, which he had wrapped in cling film for her.
Austin-Saddington, from Weymouth, pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office, but avoided jail as she was given a two-year suspended sentence. Bournemouth Crown Court heard she started working as a prison officer at Verne Prison in July 2019.
Austin-Saddington Suspected of Having an Inappropriate Relationship with Two Inmates
Austin-Saddington's probation period was extended because she was suspected of having an inappropriate relationship with two prisoners, the court was told, according to The Telegraph.
In January 2022, Trengrove, who was serving a 13-year extended jail sentence for raping a woman and having sexual activity with a child, was transferred to the prison. He began a relationship with Austin-Saddington in August of that year.
During the affair, she smuggled a mobile phone into the Category C prison for him and saved his name in her phone under "husband to be", the court heard. Robert Bryan, prosecuting, read out messages she sent to Trengrove stating he was "the one", her "reason for living", and that she would love him "til my last breath."
Austin-Saddington Became Pregnant After Having Unprotected Sex with Trengrove, Lost the Baby Two Months into Pregnancy
The pair had unprotected sex between 30 and 40 times, the court heard. In November, she told him she was pregnant, but lost the baby at about eight weeks.
In March 2023, Trengrove was moved to HMP Channings Wood in Devon, where Austin-Saddington tried to send him intimate photos that were intercepted by staff.
On May 26 of that year, she visited him under a false name. During a pat down search, officers found she was not wearing underpants and had the empty syringe in her bra. She was arrested immediately after the visit.
Trengrove admitted encouraging or assisting her in the misconduct, having a mobile phone inside prison and using it for "unauthorised transmission of images or sound." He was given another two years and three months to serve on top of his original sentence.

At least 15 killed in fire at Indian hotel: Police
At least 15 killed in fire at Indian hotel: Police KOLKATA - A fierce fire ripped through a hotel in the Indian city of Kolkata killing at least 15 people, police said on April 30 , with some clambering out of windows and onto the rooftop to escape. 'Several people were rescued from rooms and roof of the hotel', Kolkata police chief Manoj Verma told reporters, saying the fire which broke out on April 29 evening was now under control. He confirmed 'at least 15 casualties'. Building fires are common in India due to a lack of firefighting equipment and a routine disregard for safety regulations. The Press Trust of India news agency, which filmed images of soaring flames from the building, reported that 'several people were seen trying to escape through the windows and narrow ledges of the building'.

Female British Prison Officer Accused of Having a Sexual Relationship with Two Inmates at the Same Time, Plotting to Smuggle Drugs
A prison officer at a high-security British prison allegedly had sexual relationships with two inmates and even plotted to smuggle drugs into the prison, a court heard. As reported by The Telegraph, Isabelle Dale, 23, is accused of having a sexual affair with Shahid Sharif, 33, at the HMP Swaleside on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent. Dale is also accused of having a sexual relationship with 28-year-old prisoner Connor Money, who is serving a nine-year sentence for killing his best friend in a car crash during a police pursuit. Dale, of Portsmouth, appeared at Westminster magistrates' court charged with two counts of misconduct in a public office. She has also charged with conspiring together with Sharif, Lilea Sallis, 27, and others to smuggle controlled drugs into the prison. She was bailed ahead of a plea and a trial preparation hearing has been scheduled at Inner London Crown Court on May 23. The alleged sexual relationships between Dale and both prisoners are said to have taken place between Sept 1 2021 and Dec 31 2022. Sharif and Sallis, of Brighton, appeared in court separately, charged with conspiring with Dale and others unknown to bring controlled drugs into category B prison Swaleside. Sharif, who appeared via video-link from HMP Manchester, is also charged with possessing a mobile phone in HMP Brixton and HMP Wandsworth between September 1 2021 and December 31 2022.
