London – A prisoner who is accused of having sex with a female prison guard in the United Kìngdom is said to have a pregnant girlfriend, and to be serving a sentence for a botched robbery.
Linton Weirich, 36, who was filmed in a video that allegedly shows him having sex with guard Linda De Sousa Abreu, is serving a four and a half year sentence in HMP Wandsworth for stealing £65,000 worth of goods from a house in Kensington.
West Londoner Weirich stole jewellery, handbags and a laptop, among other goods, in March 2022, MailOnline reported. He was jailed on June 7 at Kingston Crown Court.
De Sousa Abreu, 30, from Fulham in south-west London, was charged with misconduct in a public office after a video of the sexual activity was shared on social media.
She appeared in court on Monday accused of “wilfully and without reasonable excuse or justification misconduct[ing] [her]self in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder by engaging in a sexual act with a prisoner in a prison cell”.
Weirich’s partner is also said to be seven months pregnant. A source told the paper that she had been hospitalised through stress after the video emerged over the weekend.
“This is the last thing she needs in her condition, it’s extremely upsetting,” they said.
“This stupid video has affected her health, she was hospitalised at the weekend through stress. She fears it will bring on premature labour.”
The incident is alleged to have happened at HMP Wandsworth between June 26 and 28.

The two go on to have sex while the other cellmate films on a mobile phone.
The friend, who is smoking while recording, says: “Guys we’ve made history, this is what I’m telling you.”
Later in the video he adds: “This is how we roll in Wandsworth.”
De Sousa Abreu was arrested at Heathrow Airport, the court heard, and was due to catch a flight to Madrid having notified the prison of her travel plans.
