A FEMALE prison officer smuggled designer clothes and women's underwear to her lag boyfriend, a court heard today.<\/p>\n
Rachel Martin allegedly embarked on an "emotional and intimate relationship" with Raymond Abraham at HMP Guys Marsh in Dorset.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old sent him a parcel containing high-end clothing, a phone and women's underwear, it is said.<\/p>\n
Martin also allegedly received money in return for the smuggled goods.<\/p>\n
She appeared at Poole Magistrates' Court today charged with ten counts of wilfully neglecting her duty as a prison officer.<\/p>\n
The charges state she entered into a relationship with Abraham between November 1, 2020 and March 8, 2021 – creating a "conflict of interest and contravening the working practices of the prison".<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Martin allegedly supplied the prisoner with a Zanco mobile phone and later encouraged a third party to buy a top-up card, telling them: "Don't forget Ray's \u00a330 Lyca top up".<\/p>\n
The court was told she spoke with Abraham via text message but did not report the fact he had a mobile.<\/p>\n
Martin is also accused of texting two other prisoners, Hassan Sufi and James Phillips, at HMP Guys Marsh.<\/p>\n
The officer was granted unconditional bail to appear at Bournemouth Crown Court next month.<\/p>\n
