A young Ghanaian lady working as a Senior Prison Officer in London has been dragged to court over her secret affair with a drug dealer who has been convicted.
According to UK tabloid , Mirror, ‘Tracy Boateng, 27, was arrested after colleagues found footage on her body-worn camera showing her with Vincent Ojo at HMP Pentonville in North London’.
Boateng could be heard telling the heroin dealer to say ‘cheese’ as she held up two fingers while Ojo stuck his tongue out.
But in other clips, Boateng was caught using sexualised language with the prisoner while hugging and kissing him in a jail office.
Reports adds that Tracy Boateng, mother of a three-month-old daughter, was put before court on Monday to be sentenced for a single count of misconduct in a public office.
Judge Caroline English said that it was only the fact that, Boateng was the sole carer for such a young child that had saved her from prison.
Handing a 12-month-suspended sentence to her, Judge English said: ‘I cannot emphasise enough just how serious this offence is. As a senior prison officer you held a position of authority and trust and were expected to discharge the duties by upholding prison rules. You knowingly breached those conditions with a prisoner who was under your supervision.
‘But the judge You are the mother of a very young baby, you are still breastfeeding that baby and you are the sole carer. One thing is certain, your child is a total innocent and the impact of your incarceration on such a young baby would be significant and potentially extremely harmful. It is for that reason, and that reason alone, that I am persuaded to take a wholly exceptional course and to suspend this sentence’.
