Married prison guard 'filmed having sex with inmate at HMP Wandsworth' appears to still be wearing her wedding ring while on shopping trip
A married ex-prison guard accused of having sex with an inmate in a jail cell appears to be still wearing her wedding ring.
Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, from southwest London, was snapped with a gold band on the ring finger of her left hand as she went shopping on Wednesday.
She was pictured wearing a body hugging crop top, grey joggers, baseball cap, and sunglasses as she strolled along the pavement with another unidentified woman.
The mother is currently on bail having been charged with misconduct in public office by 'engaging in a sexual act with a prisoner in a prison cell'.
She was filmed on a mobile phone allegedly having sex in a cell with convicted burglar Linton Weirich, 36.
The Metropolitan Police launched an urgent probe after officers were made aware of a video said to have been filmed inside HMP Wandsworth between June 26 and 28.
