      A WOMAN HAS been arrested after a video was shared on social media allegedly showing a prison officer having sex with an inmate in a jail cell.

      The Metropolitan Police said a woman was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office on Friday after officers were made aware of the video reportedly filmed inside HMP Wandsworth.

      The force added: “She has been taken into police custody. Enquiries continue.

      “We remain in close contact with the Ministry of Justice.”

      A Prison Service spokesperson said: “Staff corruption is not tolerated and the former prison officer allegedly featured in this video has been reported to the police.

      “It would be inappropriate to comment further while they investigate.”

            Is the woman who was arrested the same person as the officer in the video, or a third party who is being punished solely for the act of publishing it? The article doesn’t fucking say!

              While I agree the article should say, that is also obviously the case here

                If it were “obviously the case,” the guy that commented about still being confused wouldn’t have 7 upvotes (at the time of writing).
