Victims of a prisoner who was filmed allegedly having sex with a female guard have slammed reports that he will not see further punishments, claiming ‘this is not what we thought it meant to get hard time in prison’.
Linton Weirich, 36, of West London, was seen in a clip filmed on a smuggled phone appearing to have sex with prison officer Linda De Sousa Abreu at HMP Wandsworth.
The incident involving the prolific burglar, who is currently serving four years and nine months, led to police investigation with married De Sousa Abreu, 30, charged with misconduct in public office.
WHY LINTON WAS ARRESTED
The con, who was jailed after he stole £65,000 worth of goods from a safe in a luxury Kensington flat, was put in segregation but is unlikely to face any further punishment and is not under police investigation.
One victim who was targeted by Weirich in January said: ‘I was aware of the video. I just didn’t know that was our burglar. The whole thing seems surreal. This is not what we thought it meant to get hard time in prison.

WHAT HIS VICTIMS THINK
‘It sounds like the prison officer is the only one being punished, too.’
Weirich had broken into the woman’s home while she was having building works done but only managed to steal a few drills before being arrested.
Officers had caught him because of the ankle tag he was wearing, the woman explained adding: ‘I don’t think he’s the sharpest tool in the box.’
Another one of his victims who said his bike was stolen by Weirich in December, told The Sun: ‘He’s definitely not the smartest cookie if he was just targeting all the people on his doorstep.
‘I can see why police managed to catch him. It’s hardly justice though if he’s having fun in prison.’
