An inmate who filmed himself having s-x with a married prison officer has reportedly been attacked while holding a baby during a family visit – fracturing the infant’s skull.
Linton Weirich, 36, was targeted by a fellow prisoner while holding his three-month-old child during a visit from his girlfriend at Swaleside Prison, The Sun first reported.
Weirich was moved to the jail following the s-x tape scandal, which saw him romping with disgraced officer Linda De Sousa Abreu, 31, while in his cell.
After the video went viral on social media, De Sousa Abreu was jailed for 15 months earlier in January.
After the attack on December 18, both Weirich and the baby were rushed to hospital where the infant was found to have a fractured skull while the inmate also suffered head injuries.
Kent Police confirmed to MailOnline that a man was reportedly punched by another inmate in the visiting area, causing him to fall on top of the little baby he was holding.
A suspect has been identified but no arrests have yet been made.
The mother of the child was left distressed after witnessing the unexpected attack, a source told The Sun.
Police said in a statement: ‘Kent Police is investigating an allegation of assault at HMP Swaleside, which happened on 18 December 2024.
