A married prison officer has been jailed for having sex with a blonde inmate in her cell.
Amritpal
Ahluwalia was given a 15-prison sentence for sleeping with 22-year-old
Colette O'Flaherty twice at HMP Bronzfield, Surrey.
Even
though the 31-year-old guard admitted the affair, Guildford Crown Court
was told his wife has forgiven him and they are 'back together'.
A judge
heard that Ahluwalia and O'Flaherty began flirting in 2012 while she was
serving a six-year sentence for firearms offences.
She
worked in the hairdressing salon within the prison, which holds 600
inmates, and Ahluwalia first arranged to meet her alone there for sex
under the pretence she had to collect some styling text books.
Prosecutor
Brian Stork said: 'Miss O'Flaherty was nervous - she knew what she was
doing was wrong but the defendant was reassuring, telling her it would
be all right.
'Once in the salon, she kissed the defendant. He undressed her and they had full sexual intercourse.'
Mr Stork said Ahluwalia was 'very flattering' as he returned her to her wing and said 'how brilliant she had been.'
On
August 5, 2012, Ahluwalia appeared at the door of O'Flaherty's cell out
of hours, where he went inside the room and had sex with her again.
This time, the prison's CCTV cameras captured the prison officer entering her cell and leaving 'minutes later'.
Mr
Stork added: 'At the time, he had no permission or reason to go there.
We see him go into the cell. Once inside, he told her to lie on the bed.
He kissed her, touched her and told her he loved her.'
Their
relationship was uncovered when O'Flaherty confided in the prison's gym
instructor, who immediately reported Ahluwalia to the governor.
That is when the CCTV footage was reviewed and evidence of their tryst was exposed.
Ahluwalia, of Cranford, Middlesex, denied the allegations but eventually pleaded guilty on the first day of his trial.
Mr Stork said the defendant had worked at privately-run Bronzefield since 2009 and was fully aware of the rules.
