A prison officer has been reported to police over a social media video allegedly showing a member of staff having sex with an inmate in a jail cell.
The Metropolitan Police said it had been made aware of the video reportedly filmed at Wandsworth prison, in south-west London.
The Met said it was added no arrests had been made and was in contact with the Ministry of Justice over the matter.
HM Prison Service said “staff corruption is not tolerated and the former prison officer allegedly featured in this video has been reported to the police”.
“It would be inappropriate to comment further while they investigate,” the Prison Service added.
HM Inspectorate of Prisons has declined to comment due to the pre-election period.
