A PROBATION officer pleaded guilty to having an illicit relationship with a prisoner at Britain’s most secure jail.
Bethany Dent-Reynolds engaged in an inappropriate tryst with lag Kieran Robinson at HMP Belmarsh in South East London.
The 27-year-old appeared at Woolwich Crown Court where she admitted misconduct in a public office.
According to the charge, was in an “inappropriate relationship” with Robinson between February 15, 2024, and May 3, 2024.
During that time, she was a probation service officer.
She was also accused of attempting to access unauthorised information on a computer.
That charge was ordered to lie on the file after the probation officer pleaded not guilty.
Dent-Reynolds denied a second misconduct charge that alleged she was in an “inappropriate, romantic relationship” with Robinson between March 1, 2024, and April 20, 2024.
That charge was dropped by prosecutors, the court was told.
Dent-Reynolds was granted unconditional bail ahead of sentence at Woolwich Crown Court on February 6 next year.
HMP Belmarsh is home to a number of infamous prisoners including Southport killer Axel Rudakubana, neo-Nazi David Copeland and Manchester bomb plotter Hashem Abedi.
