    A glam prison officer is accused of having "phone sex" with a serving inmate at a Welsh prison after he allegedly slid her his number on a piece of paper. <\/p>\n

    Recordings were made of Ruth Shmylo talking to the inmate on the phone after he moved prisons. Shmylo, 26, of Pontypridd, allegedly began an "inappropriate relationship" with the inmate, while she was working as a prisoner officer and he was a prisoner at HMP Parc in Bridgend.<\/p>\n

    A trial at Cardiff Crown Court heard Shmylo and the inmate were alleged to have been in a relationship between December 1, 2020, and April 17, 2021. It was also said that Shmylo failed to report the lag's advances and actively engaged in their relationship, which involved phone sex.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    She began working at the prison in October 2020 but did not pass her probationary period and was released from her employment in April 2021.<\/p>\n

    The inmate was moved to HMP Manchester in May 2021, and conversations between him and Shmylo were recorded by the prison authorities. <\/p>\n

    During the calls, the inmate asked the defendant to tell him she loved him, which she refused to do, and told her he "missed her face".<\/p>\n

    After the calls were brought to the attention of the police, Shmylo was arrested on July 20, 2021. She made a number of admissions in her interview with police. <\/p>\n

    In his opening, prosecutor Matthew Cobbe said: "The prosecution case is that she, Ms Shmylo, did not make any real effort to prevent or bring to an end or stop that relationship with that inmate while in Parc."<\/p>\n

    "She on more than one occasion tried to bring their relationship to an end, however the very fact she tried to bring that relationship to an end is of course evidence she was in an inappropriate relationship with that inmate at the important time."<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Shmylo told officers he slid her a piece of paper with his number on, and said she "felt pressure" to call him and "felt trapped". She failed to report this to prison staff, and the fact the inmate was in possession of a mobile phone, which is prohibited in prison.<\/p>\n

    Mr Cobbe added: "She could and should have declined to receive the number, she could and should have reported the incident to staff at the prison, she could and should have reported the fact the inmate appeared to have a mobile phone, and she could and should have chosen not to call his number. Instead she chose to call the number."<\/p>\n

    The court heard the defendant and the inmate were in contact "pretty much every day", and on one occasion he threatened to harm another prisoner if she didn't call him. As a result, she said she kept the other inmate in his cell for a whole day.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The court heard that an inmate asked Shmylo to meet his mum and "tell her what he was really like". When she first said no, he told her his mum had even done her nails for the occasion. The pair were also involved in some saucy phone calls, with Mr Cobbe explaining: "She explained that this was principally the inmate saying things to her, noting 'I was listening for the best part of it'.<\/p>\n

    In more messages, the inmate asked Shmylo to tell him she loved him, talked about their future together, and called her "his missus". On her birthday, he messaged her saying "Happy Birthday Princess Girl", and she replied with a simple "Thank you". She later told him he was just a friend.<\/p>\n

    Mr Cobbe said it's hard to say if their relationship was physical or not.<\/p>\n

    Shmylo, who lives in Treforest, denies one count of misconduct in a public office. The trial continues.<\/p>\n
