“„The calls between the defendant and inmate were flirtatious. They talked about the prison and the staff at the prison. He says he loves her, and she replies that she loves him too. He told her he wanted to thank her for how she had looked after him at Parc.
- Prosecuter Matthew Cobbe
According to Mr. Cobbe, despite Hibbs' request that the prisoner not get in touch with her, they continued to talk, with Hibbs even getting his opinion on prison corruption.
They also show how little the prisoner thought of the defendant, who was obviously trying to manipulate her, he continued. It is obvious that their interactions were completely wrong.
Hibbs was granted a sick leave of absence from work in June, and on July 6, she resigned from her position. She was detained on July 13 after police discovered her phone number on their list of allowed calls for prisoners; the Nursing and Midwifery Council has now expelled her.
Adam Sharp, Hibbs's lawyer, said that his client was "exploited" by the prisoner and that she did nothing wrong or gain anything from the relationship. Mr. Sharp asked that his client's sentence be put on hold because she was "young, easily influenced, and not very experienced."
However, Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke stated that she was unable to do so because of how serious the offenses were.
“„You knew what you were doing was wrong, you had done training but nevertheless you went on to form an emotional relationship with this inmate. You engaged in a flirtatious relationship initially, you failed to report the ongoing contact and you failed to report that this inmate had upon him and in custody an unlawful device.
- Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke
