A 26-year-old prison guard who slept with an inmate on Christmas day cries as Judge handed down her sentence at the Mold Crown Court.
Emily Watson, a 26-year-old prison guard who had developed feelings for an inmate who is serving 8 years in prison for death by dangerous driving.
Officials said that Emily went down to the cell of John McGee on a couple of occasions, they added that she even gave him oral sex two times and even slept with him on Christmas Day.
The relationship of John and Emily came to light when officials noticed that they were speaking to each other often and had long conversations at the Wrexham’s HMP Berwyn.
And after an investigation, officials discovered that the two were contacted each other through a phone that that was hidden inside a PlayStation inside his prison cell.
Officials also recovered a screwdriver that looked like a pen, it was used by John to access his contraband iPhone 6.
The court also heard that the prison guard even sent nude videos of herself to John and even had virtual sex through FaceTime.
When the prison guard was not working, John would call her by using the prison’s phone. Officials added that at one time, they called each other 96 times in 1 month.
26-year-old Emily Watson started working at the HMP Berwyn 2 years ago, but she did not immediately go into a relationship with John.
The investigation revealed that Emily went to Liverpool to the house of John’s sister. This was discovered by the new recognition technology of the automatic number plate.
The officials also found out that John had an Instagram account.
Emily Watson was arrested in January 2018 and she has been sentenced to serve 12 months in prison.
When Emily was presented to the court, she said that she regrets what she did and understood that it was wrong.
During the sentencing of Emily, Judge Niclas Parry said, “Everything about this case is so, so wrong. One can only hope that the sentence of eight years imprisonment would have been some comfort to the family of Mr. Bratin [McGee’s victim].
The Judge added, “Therefore it is difficult to imagine the feel of betrayal they must have felt at finding out that he was able to have free access to an iPhone in prison and conduct a sexual relationship from his prison cell. This quite reprehensible behavior was willingly entered into for nothing other than thrill-seeking and personal gratification, having been flattered.”
Inmate John McGee has also been handed to serve 12 months in jail on top of his current sentence.
