A woman is to appear in court after a video was shared on social media allegedly showing a prison officer having sex with an inmate in a cell.
Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, of Fulham, south-west London, has been charged with misconduct in public office, the Metropolitan Police said.
She is in custody and will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

An arrest was made later that day and De Sousa Abreu was charged on Saturday, police added.
