An inmate accused of having sex with a prison guard reportedly has a pregnant girlfriend and is serving time for a botched robbery.

Linton Weirich, 36, who was allegedly filmed having sex with prison guard Linda De Sousa Abreu, is serving a four-and-a-half-year sentence at HMP Wandsworth for stealing goods worth £65,000 from a house in Kensington.

West Londoner Weirich stole jewellery, handbags and a laptop among other items in March 2022, MailOnline reports. He was jailed at Kingston Crown Court on June 7.

De Sousa Abreu, 30, from Fulham, south-west London, was charged with misconduct in a public office after footage of him engaging in sexual activity was shared on social media.

She appeared in court on Monday charged with “intentionally and without just cause or excuse, behaving improperly in a manner that constituted an abuse of public trust in an official by having sexual intercourse with a prisoner in a prison cell.”

Weirich’s partner is also seven months pregnant. A source told the newspaper she was hospitalized for stress after the footage surfaced over the weekend.

“This is the last thing she needs in her condition. It’s incredibly depressing,” they said.

“This stupid video has affected her health, she was hospitalized over the weekend due to stress. She fears it will cause premature labor.”

Later in the video he adds: “That’s how we do it in Wandsworth.”
