Stephanie Adair, 29, was heard to have 'wilfully misconducted' herself by engaging in a relationship with prisoner Jakhi Crosdale while working at HMP Wandsworth. The defendant appeared at Kingston Crown Court today, and pleaded guilty to one count of misconduct in a public office. She appeared in the dock wearing a black blazer and spoke only to confirm her name and plea. The charge states Adair engaged in a relationship with an inmate between September 2023 and November 2024. Adair, from Southwark, South London, is said to have maintained this relationship through contact with the inmate's "illicit mobile phone", according to the indictment. Crosdale, 28, also appeared at the same court via video link from HMP Manchester on Tuesday. He is accused of a single count of unauthorised transmission of image or sound by electronic communication from within a prison, namely HMP Wandsworth and HMP Lowdham Grange, between February 2024 and October 2024. Crosdale pleaded guilty to the charge. He is on recall until 2029. The pair were granted unconditional bail and will be sentenced on February 9. Crosdale was convicted of the manslaughter of trainee plumber Charlie Burns in March 2015, aged 17, and sentenced to six years in prison. In 2018, he pleaded guilty charges of the supply of class A drugs and was jailed for a year.
