A former probation officer has been jailed after CCTV exposed her secret fling with a convicted murderer when she was caught on camera kissing him during a prison visit.
Bethany Dent-Reynolds, 27, has been sentenced to eight months behind bars after embarking on an “inappropriate” relationship with prisoner Kieran Robinson.
The pair initially met while Dent-Reyonlds was working at HMP Belmarsh in South East London, where Robinson was serving a 23-year sentence for the fatal stabbing of teenager Donnell Rhule, alongside his cousin Sean Robinson, in July 2020.
Woolwich Crown Court heard that their relationship only became romantic after she started a new role as a probation officer at HMP Brixton, another prison located almost an hour away.
Robinson messaged Dent-Reynolds first on social media before she visited him several times in jail, The Sun reports.
The two shared a number of sexually explicit messages and phone calls with each other.
She also accessed restricted records about his murder case on a probation computer system and discussed the findings with him, telling him his co-defendants “all stuck it on you”.
Robinson was eventually transferred to HMP Lowdham Grange, a facility located about 3 hours north of London in Nottinghamshire, where Dent‑Reynolds continued to visit him, the Liverpool Echo reports.
During one visit, footage from the Category B prison captured the pair embracing and sharing a kiss before sitting down on adjacent sofas.
