A PRISON officer who had phone sex with an inmate was accused of a relationship with a second lag and blew kisses at a third, a court heard.

       Ruth Shmylo, 26, allegedly embarked on a relationship with Harri Pullen, 24, while working at HMP Parc in Bridgend, Wales.

       She is accused of having phone sex with the inmate, who was part of an organised crime gang, and meeting his mother.

       Cardiff Crown Court heard Shmylo was quizzed by jail bosses over her "flirtatious" behaviour with inmates just months after starting her job.

       She allegedly contacted one over Facebook and was seen on CCTV blowing a kiss to a prisoner.

       The prison officer was also accused of a relationship with a second unnamed inmate.

       Head of security Dan Hayman told jurors other concerns included the use of social media, her relationship with Pullen and "the way she was interacting with other prisoners".

       She was also quizzed on "professional boundaries between staff and prisoners, over-familiarity with prisoners, and flirtatious behaviour towards prisoners".

       The court was told Shmylo was sacked from her job at HMP Parc following "concerns" over her relationships with inmates.

       Following her dismissal, Pullen was moved 200 miles to HMP Manchester but the pair kept in touch, it was said.

       Jurors heard the alleged five-month affair was rumbled after the move and the couple's calls began being recorded.

       Prosecutor Matthew Cobbe said: "The inappropriate relationship is demonstrated by recordings of calls by the inmate to Miss Shmylo after he had moved from Parc Prison to HMP Manchester.

       "The recordings between him and Miss Shmylo relate to a time when she was no longer employed at Parc Prison.

       "Nevertheless the tone of those conversations relate to a fair and sure inference that she had been in an inappropriate relationship with him while he was at Parc Prison."

       The court heard the alleged relationship started when Pullen passed a mobile number to Shmylo on a slip of paper.

       They then had "teenage" style chats and phone sex after the inmate began calling "daily", it was said.

       Pullen messaged Shmylo wishing her "happy birthday princess girl" and arranged for his mother to meet up with her.

       The convicted drug dealer also referred to the prison officer as his "Mrs", jurors were told.

       After she was arrested, Shmylo made "several admissions" to police.

       Mr Cobbe said: "She conceded during the course of her interview that she had had phone sex with the inmate.

       "She explained this was principally the inmate saying things to her, noting that 'I was listening for the best part of it'.

       "That means she was actively engaging in phone sex with the inmate - or some of it."

       Shmylo also said she felt "pressurised" to call Pullen after he gave her his number and claimed he had threatened to harm another inmate if she stopped taking his calls.

       After she was sacked, Pullen's "demeanour" and "conduct" went downhill and he self-harmed.
