A drug dealer who had sex with a prison guard is so besotted with her that he has photos of her stuck up around his prison cell, the criminal’s mother has claimed to .
Jordan Stones and Morgan Farr Varney would sneak off for sex sessions in a cupboard while she was meant to be guarding him at while working at HMP Lindholme in South Yorkshire.
Farr Varney, 24, was jailed this week for ten months over the affair – but she has allegedly told Stones’ family that she wants to continue the relationship with him when she gets out of prison.
Her lover Stones, 30, who is serving five-and-a-half years for cocaine dealing, is equally infatuated and has shared photos on Facebook of himself in his prison cell with pictures of brunette Farr Varney on the walls.
And last night Stones’ mother insisted the couple were still together despite both being behind bars – and would rekindle their relationship when they are released.
Donna March, 47, said: ‘They are still together. They’ve been together for two and a half years. All of his belongings are at her house for when he gets out of jail.
‘She was around here all the time with my girls. She takes them out for day trips, she takes them up to her place at weekends.’
Speaking from her home in Billingham, Co Durham, Ms March added: ‘Honest to God, she’s like another daughter to me. She’s amazing.’
Farr Varney joined the Prison Service in 2022 and became besotted with Stones while he was on remand at the category-C prison near Doncaster.
Suspicions were raised after she was spotted with him on a wing at Lindholme and she was arrested in January 2023.
An investigation revealed a slew of love letters between the pair, including in the inmate’s cell and in Farr Varney’s bedroom.
CCTV footage also showed the pair entering a cupboard.
Interviewed by police, Farr Varney admitted she had ‘proper fallen in love’ with him and admitted she had ‘f****ed her life up’.
Stones, of Billingham, Co Durham, was handed an extra six weeks’ jail time after being caught with an illicit mobile phone to stay in touch with the shamed guard.
Farr Varney, of Stainforth, South Yorks, was this week sentenced to ten months in prison after admitting to misconduct in public office.
Mail Online can reveal how she barely disguised her relationship with the criminal – following him on Facebook and posting messages on the profiles of his siblings.
In one post to Stones’ sister, she wrote: ‘Me and Jordan love you’, accompanied by a series of heart emojis.
Farr Varney had received anti-corruption training just months before the illicit affair began.
Following her arrest, she resigned from her role – but the relationship continued despite Stones being moved to Wealstun Prison, near Wetherby in West Yorkshire.
Farr Varney appeared on This Morning last year to discuss facing huge bills after buying braces from an online dental firm only for it to fold partway through her treatment.
Stones was jailed at Teesside Crown Court in April 2023, after pleading guilty to two counts of possessing a Class A drug.
One charge was for possession with intent to supply crack cocaine, while the other was for simple possession.
He was previously jailed aged 20 after being caught selling heroin.
Police caught him attempting to flush wraps of heroin down the toilet. After being bailed, officers caught him with another 12 wraps the following day.
Stones told detectives he was selling the wares to pay back a drug debt.
Detective Constable Scott Jarvis, of South Yorkshire Police’s Prison Anti-Corruption Unit, said her sentencing should send a ‘clear message’ to warders considering embarking on affairs.
A record number of female prison guards have been fired for affairs with male inmates – with 29 given the sack in the past three years.
That compares to just nine women who lost their jobs for the same offence between 2017 and 2019.
In January, former Wandsworth prison officer Linda De Sousa Abreu was jailed for 15 months after a film of her having sex with an inmate was shared online.
Det Con Jarvis said: ‘We take any reports of improper relationships between prison staff and inmates incredibly seriously and conduct thorough investigations to ensure those who are guilty of these offences are brought to justice,’ he said.
‘These types of relationships are thankfully rare, but when they do happen, they threaten to undermine the reputation of the prison service and other hard-working prison officers who abide by the rules and regulations attached to the job.
‘I hope this sentencing sends out a clear message to any prison officers thinking of committing similar offences that if you engage in this type of criminality, you will be investigated by police and you will be brought to justice.’
