A disturbing incident has unfolded at Swaleside Prison, where a violent attack on an inmate holding a baby during a family visit has left both the prisoner and the child injured.
Linton Weirich, 36, was reportedly assaulted by another inmate while cradling his three-month-old daughter.
This attack occurred during a visit from his girlfriend, and the baby sustained a skull fracture, while Weirich also suffered head injuries.
Authorities are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the assault.
Background on the Inmate and the Scandal
Weirich had been transferred to Swaleside after being involved in a widely publicized scandal.
The incident involved a viral video showing him having sex with Linda De Sousa Abreu, a married prison officer, while she was in uniform at Wandsworth Prison.
Abreu, 31, was later sentenced to 15 months in prison for misconduct, and she had been facing intense media scrutiny following the release of the footage.
The video showed her engaging in sexual acts with Weirich, all while her radio crackled with messages from fellow officers unaware of the situation.
The Assault and Aftermath
On December 18, during the prison visit, Weirich was punched by another inmate in the visiting area.
The force of the punch caused him to fall onto the baby he was holding, leading to the child’s serious injury.
The baby was rushed to the hospital with a fractured skull but was later discharged.
Weirich also sustained head injuries in the altercation.
The mother of the child, who witnessed the attack, was left in a state of distress after seeing her baby unresponsive and knocked out.
Ongoing Investigation
Kent Police are investigating the assault and have identified a suspect, though no arrests have been made at this time.
A statement from Kent Police confirmed that the prisoner was punched in the visitors’ area, leading to the unfortunate injuries.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have assured that the situation is being thoroughly examined.
South East Coast Ambulance Service also attended the scene, confirming their involvement in the emergency response.
The Aftermath of the Sex Tape Scandal
Linda De Sousa Abreu, who had been caught on camera engaging in sexual acts with Weirich, appeared in court earlier this month for sentencing.
The former prison officer, who is originally from Brazil, admitted to misconduct after the explicit video surfaced.
She was sentenced to 15 months in prison, though she will likely serve less than a third of her sentence.
The judge expressed concern that Abreu had compromised her role as a prison officer and put others at risk by engaging in such behavior.
Abreu’s actions were not limited to the viral video; she had previously been caught on her body camera performing oral sex on Weirich on the same day the sex tape was filmed.
Her criminal activities led to her arrest, and she now faces both public and legal consequences.
Interestingly, Abreu, who is married and has an eight-year-old daughter, also has an OnlyFans account where she shares explicit content.
What’s Next?
As the investigation into the attack at Swaleside Prison continues, many questions remain unanswered about both the assault and the scandal involving Abreu.
The case is still unfolding, and it remains to be seen how both legal matters and the personal lives of those involved will evolve in the coming weeks.
