A Ghanaian-born, UK-based senior prison officer has been handed a 12-month suspended sentence by the Snaresbrook Crown Court after being found guilty of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a prison inmate.
Tracy Boateng, a 27-year-old UK citizen, was arrested after body camera footage and phone records revealed she was engaged in an illicit and romantic relationship with an inmate, Vincent Ojo, 34, who had been convicted of drug trafficking at the HMP Pentonville.
Released footage shows Tracy Boateng kissing inmate Vincent Ojo in her office at HMP Pentonville in North London.
She was also seen breaching security protocols by sneaking Ojo into her office and disclosing restricted operational information, including staff allocations.
