Must read

A prisoner who was filmed allegedly having sex with a female guard in an X-rated video is a TikTok fitness fanatic who published videos of his gruelling workouts, MailOnline can reveal.

Linton Weirich, of West London, was seen in a clip allegedly filmed on a smuggled phone appearing to have sex with prison officer Linda De Sousa Abreu at HMP Wandsworth.

De Sousa Abreu, 30, has been charged with misconduct in public office following a police probe into the incident.

MailOnline can reveal that convicted burglar Weirich, 36, posted videos to TikTok showing his workout regimes. One clip shows him in the gym, while others show him undertaking exercises including skipping in a room – with one of the videos captioned: ‘Let’s get it’.

Weirich was put in segregation but is unlikely to face any further punishment and is not under investigation.

Six years ago, Weirich had pleaded guilty to dangerous driving on the M6 at Stafford.

He also admitted assaulting a police officer with intent to resist arrest, driving without a licence and driving without insurance when he appeared at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court in March, 2018.

A video shared by Weirich on TikTok shows him leaving prison in October last year after he was banged up for the offence. 

It comes as MailOnline revealed that Weirich’s partner is seven months pregnant and went into hospital after suffering from stress fearing she could go into premature labour.

A source close to her said: ‘This is the last thing she needs in her condition, it’s extremely upsetting. 

‘This stupid video has affected her health, she was hospitalised at the weekend through stress. She fears it will bring on premature labour.’

Photographs posted on his Instagram page also show Weirich with the same arm tattoo as the man in the alleged X-rated video.

She was attempting to travel on a Portuguese passport, which was seized by the Metropolitan Police.

De Sousa Abreu appeared in court charged with misconduct in public office by ‘engaging in a sexual act with a prisoner in a prison cell.’

Wearing a custody-issue grey tracksuit, she spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and address.

Prosecuting Niamh McDonagh told the court: ‘Ms De Sousa Abreu was apprehended at Heathrow Airport where a flight had been booked for Madrid. I believe she has relatives living there.

‘A Portuguese passport was seized by police when she was apprehended. She is a Portuguese national with a Portuguese passport. ‘

Defending, Gayathri Yogarajah said De Sousa Abreu had notified HMP Wandsworth, telling them of her travel plans which was duly passed on to Scotland Yard

She was granted conditional bail and will appear for a plea and case management hearing on July 29 at Isleworth Crown Court.

She must remain at an address in South West London given in court. Her Portuguese passport must remain with the police and she cannot make any attempt to retrieve it.

She is forbidden from applying or being in possession of international travel documents and she must hand over her Portuguese Identity card that she could travel on.

De Sousa Abreu is also forbidden to enter any UK port and must be electronically monitored between the hours of 9pm and 7am.

A Prison Service spokesman 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.’
