Shocking Romance Behind Bars
Bethany Dent-Reynolds, just 27, admitted she had an illicit relationship with prisoner Kieran Robinson at HMP Belmarsh — Britain’s toughest jail. The scandalous tryst unfolded while she was on the job at the high-security prison in Woolwich, southeast London.
Belmarsh: The Home of Britain’s Most Notorious
Belmarsh is no ordinary prison. It houses some of the UK’s most infamous criminals, including Southport murderer Axel Rudakubana and Manchester terror plotter Hashem Abedi. Yet even this fortress couldn’t keep this forbidden relationship under wraps.
Misconduct and Computer Hacking Charges
Dent-Reynolds, from Forest Hill, faces serious charges after admitting misconduct in a public office. The court heard she abused public trust by engaging in an “inappropriate relationship” with Robinson between February and May 2024.
- She’s also accused of hacking into the prison’s Ndelius Record system to gain unauthorised access to confidential data.
- A separate charge over hacking attempts was dropped, while another was ordered to lie on file.
Next Steps in Court
The probation officer denied some of the misconduct allegations, but was granted unconditional bail ahead of sentencing at Woolwich Crown Court on February 6, 2026.
This jaw-dropping scandal raises fresh questions about security and trust at one of Britain’s most secure institutions.
