Linda De Sousa Abreu is facing the possibility of jail time after admitting to charges of misconduct. As a prison officer, she engaged in a sexual encounter with an inmate, which her relatives claim was done in pursuit of online fame and fortune. This scandal resulted in her being fired from her job at HMP Wandsworth after a video of the encounter went viral last month.
The impact of this case has not only affected De Sousa Abreu, but also her family. Her loved ones are now speaking out for the first time about the consequences this has had on their lives. It was revealed that De Sousa Abreu had joined the prison service just months after appearing on the Channel 4 show Open House: The Great Sex Experiment with her husband, Nathan. The show explored the lifestyle of swingers and De Sousa Abreu shared that opening up their relationship had allowed them to form a deeper connection. She also has an OnlyFans account where she shares explicit content with her followers.
However, her sister, Andreina, disclosed that she had warned De Sousa Abreu not to mix her personal lifestyle with her work. Unfortunately, this advice was ignored. "I found out she worked in a prison in January. That's when I spoke to her and said 'Don't be stupid,'" Andreina shared. "I was brutally honest with her about her behaviors. I should have been harsher," she added.
Friends of De Sousa Abreu's husband stated that he was shocked by the video and its aftermath. They also shared that while everyone makes mistakes, this was one of the poorest decisions De Sousa Abreu has made. Her father-in-law also expressed his disappointment, stating that she was in a position of authority and should take responsibility for her actions. He also added that her husband had no knowledge of her infidelity and that she was acting like an "idiot."
In the midst of this scandal, De Sousa Abreu's jailbird lover Linton Weirich has also faced consequences. His relationships have suffered, and his girlfriend, who is expecting his child, was so upset by the video that she required hospital treatment. She has since visited him in prison, but does not talk about the affair.
Weinrich's sister shared that her brother regrets his actions and that his girlfriend is a good and decent woman. She also placed blame on corrupt officers who smuggle phones into jails and De Sousa Abreu, who allegedly engaged in the encounter to promote her OnlyFans page. Similarly, Weinrich's mother believes that the fault lies with De Sousa Abreu, stating that if she was offering it on a plate, then her son was going to take it.
This case raises concerns about the safety of female officers in Britain's jails. According to Prof Ian Acheson, a former prison governor and security adviser, prisons are predatory places and this incident has put female officers at an active risk. The video has been viewed thousands of times by prisoners, perpetuating the commodification of female officers as "meat."
De Sousa Abreu, who resides in Fulham, will be sentenced in November.
