Linda de Sousa Abreu, the infamous HMP Wandsworth prison officer who was jailed after being filmed having sex with inmate Linton Weirich, will be keeping her head down going forward.
Following her public office misconduct guilty plea in July of last year, Abreu was sentenced to 15 months behind bars at the turn of 2025.
Ultimately, the 31-year-old served five months and now her partner (who remained anonymous) has spoken to Metro about her future plans.
"She's fine, she's just not allowed to talk," he revealed.

"She'd be in a lot of trouble and could be sent back to prison if she did."
According to Abreu's other half, she's just focusing on staying out of trouble for time being, with no concrete plans in place.
One thing she's sure of, though, is that a return to content creation for the adult subscription platform OnlyFans would be a terrible idea.
"I don't know if she will do any charity work," he also mentioned.
A highly lucrative stint on reality TV isn't on the horizon either, as her partner shared: "She can't go back to being a prison officer. She does not want to go on Love Island. She's very sorry for what happened."
Back in January, prosecutors said that the married mother willingly took part in the video with serial burglar Weirch.
Misconduct in Public Office (MiPO) is a common law offence that can only be tried on indictment, according to UK law.
The charge claimed that Abreu 'wilfully and without reasonable excuse or justification misconducted yourself in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder by engaging in a sexual act with a prisoner in a prison cell'.
Judge Martin Edmunds KC commented upon sentencing: "It will impact on the reputation of the prison service and, with that, the prospects of recruiting and retaining staff.
"It causes anxiety among those close to vulnerable prisoners who worry more about the environment in which prisoners are held. That recording is still out there and will doubtless circulate indefinitely.
"You are not responsible for the wider problems of prisons, but you have added to them. The level of harm is high, indeed very high."
Meanwhile, Abreu herself spoke for the first time about the scandal prior to going to court.
In an Instagram video, she told her followers: "I hope you can appreciate this is going to be a very awkward and uncomfortable conversation for me to have... I just thought I really needed to come on here and clarify a lot of things.
"First thing being, there has been a lot, a tremendous amount of fake profiles of me that have been monetising off my misfortune, this scandal that the entire world has somehow managed to be involved in.
"I have not monetised one f**king bit. At all. This is my only social media platform and I only just activated it again."
