Prison officer jailed for sex videos with inmate she fell for

-

A PRISON officer who fell in love and had a sexual relationsh­ip with a “dangerous” inmate has been jailed for 12 months.

Ayshea Gunn, 27, a criminolog­y and psychology graduate, and Khuram Razaq, 29, made more than 1,000 phone calls to each other when he was inside Berwyn prison in Wrexham where he was serving 12 years for conspiracy to rob.

She smuggled in a pair of knickers for him inside her bra and her bedroom was decorated with pictures of the pair kissing and hugging, some of which were taken in his cell.

Prosecutin­g barrister Simon Mills told Mold Crown Court that the pair “weren’t being particular­ly subtle” about their inappropri­ate relationsh­ip.

Colleagues noticed Gunn spent a lot of time with Razaq and went in his cell for long periods, and the number of reports led to an internal investigat­ion.

It found they were using mobile phones to send each other explicit sexual videos and stream lewd live footage of themselves.

Gunn also bought clothing for Razaq and placed a bet for him. She told investigat­ors she had “fallen victim to compliment­s” and that she had loved him.

Judge Niclas Parry said the pair had engaged in a “highly sexualised and pornograph­ic” exchange of photograph­s, and they had remained in touch even after her arrest.

Gunn, of Pant Glas, Johnstown, Wrexham, admitted misconduct in public office between July and November last year.

Razaq, dealt with separately and described as “dangerous” by a judge, must serve a consecutiv­e eight months jail term after he pleaded guilty to possessing a Garmin smartwatch and a mobile phone in jail.
