A female prison officer has been charged with having sexual relationships with two convicts.
Isabelle Dale, 23, is also accused of conspiring to smuggle drugs into the high security jail where one of her lovers, Shahid Sharif, 33, was incarcerated.
Her second prisoner boyfriend, Connor Money, 28 – with whom she is charged with conducting an affair simultaneously – was serving nine years for killing his best friend in a car crash while fleeing police at 147mph.
A female co-conspirator, Lilea Sallis, 27, is charged with helping Dale smuggle the drugs into prison for Sharif.
And Sharif himself is charged with both conspiring to have drugs smuggled into jail, and with having a mobile phone in his cell, although he faces no charges for sexual relations with Dale.
Money is not facing charges for his relationship with Dale.
Prison officer Dale and Sallis both appeared at Westminster magistrates’ court in London today, while Sharif attended by video link from Manchester prison.
The court heard that Dale, from Portsmouth, is charged with two counts of being a holder of a public office who ‘wilfully misconducting herself, while a prison officer, and without reasonable excuse, in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust’.

Lilea Sallis is charged with one count of conspiring with Dale and Sharif, ‘and others unknown’, to get drugs into Swaleside high security prison on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent
In both counts of misconduct in public office she is said to have had ‘an inappropriate sexual relationship with a service prisoner’ – with Money in the first instance, and Sharif in the second.
Both inappropriate sexual relationships are said to have taken place between September 2021 and the very end of 2022.
She is also charged with conspiring to ‘bring, throw or convey’ drugs in Swaleside high security prison on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.

Connor Money was jailed in 2020 after admitting causing death by dangerous driving
Her alleged accomplice Sallis, of Brighton, is charged with one count of conspiring with Dale and Sharif, ‘and others unknown’, to get drugs into the prison between September 2021 and December 2022.
Sharif is charged over the same drugs conspiracy, and with having a mobile phone in his cells in both Brixton prison in London and Swaleside over the ame period.
Judge Adrian Turner allowed both Dale and Sallis to remain on bail – on the condition that they do not communicate with each other, or Sharif, who remains inside.
None of the trio entered a plea, but all are due at a next hearing at Inner London Crown Court next month.
Dale’s second lover Money was jailed at Woolwich Crown Court in 2020 after admitting causing death by dangerous driving.
He fled in his BMW 5 series down the M2 motorway in Kent in the middle of the afternoon after police asked him to pull over, travelling at ‘eye-watering speeds’ before crashing in the back of a lorry.
His friend Jordan Amos, 23, from Dartford in Kent, died in the passenger seat – while Money ran off into woodland before being caught.
Money wept in court as he was jailed, and police sergeant Chris Wade, lead officer on the case, said his motoring – weaving in and out of traffic, undertaking, and speeding down the hard should – was ‘the worst driving I have encountered in 25 years of policing’.
