A prison officer accused of having sexual relationships with two inmates will face a trial in October.
Isabelle Dale, 23, allegedly had a fling with convicted robber Shahid Sharif, 33, between 1 September 2021 and 31 December 2022.
Dale is also accused of having a sexual relationship with a second jailhouse lover, Connor Money, 28, at the same time.
Money was serving nine years for killing his best friend in a car crash while escaping police at 147mph.
Dale is also accused of conspiring to smuggle drugs into HMP Swaleside in Kent – the high security jail where Sharif was locked up.
She appeared at Southwark Crown Court charged with two counts of misconduct in a public office in relation to the relationship with Sharif and Money.
The first charge alleges she ‘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 having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a serving prisoner by the name of Shahid Sharif.’
The second misconduct charge alleges she had a sexual relationship with Money between 1 September 2021 and 31 December 2022.
Dale, of Portsmouth, is charged with conspiring together with Sharif, Lilea Sallis, and others unknown to bring controlled drugs into Swaleside.
Wearing a smart black blazer, she was bailed today ahead of a plea and trial preparation hearing on Friday 6 June at the same court.
Judge Justin Cole set a trial date for 21 October 2025 to last between two and three weeks.
Sharif and Sallis, 27, of Brighton, are charged with conspiring with Dale and others unknown to bring controlled drugs into Category B prison Swaleside.
The 27-year-old, wearing a white top, was also bailed for a plea and trial preparation at the same court in two weeks time.
Sharif, who was on a video-link from HMP Manchester, is also charged with possessing a mobile phone in HMP Brixton and HMP Wandsworth between 1 September 2021 and 31 December 2022.
Dale describes herself on the website ‘topline.com’ as ‘a seasoned Prison Officer with 2 years of experience, holds a degree in Criminology and Law from City of Portsmouth College, and is proficient in English and Maths.’
