Vicar arrested after she was found romping with inmate serving life behind bars
A VICAR has been arrested after shocked prison staff found her romping with a inmate serving life behind bars.
She was discovered “in a clinch” with the convicted arsonist as he sat in a chair in a meeting room at the jail.
The prison officer who interrupted them immediately raised the alarm and police were called.
They arrested the vicar and she has been suspended.
A source said: “It all blew up last week when staff couldn’t find the prisoner as all the inmates were being moved back to their cells.
“They checked the paperwork and saw that he was due to be visiting the chapel. An officer went there but couldn’t find him.
“A female officer then went to another landing where there are interview rooms and classrooms and she caught him in a clinch with the vicar.
“She was suspended and the police were called. There will be a full investigation with the police.
'POSITION OF TRUST'
“Obviously she was in a position of trust.”
The woman has visited the prison for a number of years, and volunteers at a local church.
The priest at that church stood by his colleague.
He said: “She is a lovely lady and a marvellous priest and she has given her all to the people at our church and at the prison.
"I will do my best to support her through these difficult times and hope and pray that she comes through this still knowing that God loves her and that the church loves her.”
The woman and the prison cannot be named for legal reasons, and the police force which arrested her refused to give any details.
It was not clear on what grounds she was arrested.
The Prison Service said: “A member of staff has been suspended pending a police investigation.”
