Prison officer Anita Whittaker has been sentenced to a 15-month jail term for having inappropriate sexual relations with a prisoner.
52-year old Whittaker who is a mother of two admitted developing a friendship with 35-year old prisoner Kazadi Kongolo who was jailed in 1999 for stabbing a teenager to death.
She said she felt vulnerable after an abusive relationship with a fellow prison officer in another prison, and the court heard how within four months the friendship developed into an intimate and sexual relationship which gradually progressed from kissing and cuddling to oral sex.
The affair was uncovered after a cell phone was found hidden in Kongolo's bottom during a search of his cell by prison officers at Wormwood Scrubs which is a category B prison in Hammersmith in west London.
Officers found Whittaker's number along with texts exchanged between the pair on the phone. In the texts messages Kongolo referred to her as his "Sexy Queen while she referred to him as her "Baby Cake".
Although Whittaker admitted to having a loose sexual relationship which involved cuddling and touching she however denied having oral or full sexual intercourse with Kongolo who is younger than her two daughters.
Whittaker was sentenced after she admitted to misconduct in public office, engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a prisoner and failing to report a prisoner in possession of a mobile phone.
