A GLAM prison officer accused of having an “inappropriate relationship” with a male lag at HMP Belmarsh has appeared in the dock.
Michelle Molver, 30, is charged with misconduct in public office at the category A men’s prison between August 1 and September 5, last year.
She is alleged to have had an “inappropriate relationship” with inmate Kemai Mathurine while working at the top-security jail in south east London.
Molver today appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court dressed in a black leather jacket, black leggings and Dr Martens boots.
In the short hearing she spoke only to confirm her name, age and new address.
No specific details of the alleged relationship with Mathurine were heard during today’s appearance in court.
Molver was granted bail and is due to appear at Woolwich Magistrates’ Court on June 8.
The 30-year-old is the former director of the now dissolved Road to Rehabilitation Ltd and is currently listed as a director of Grass Root Homes Ltd.
Molver has also been involved with The Churchill Fellowship, which focuses on rehabilitation projects linked to prisoners and reducing reoffending.
In an online profile Molver states: “My role is to support prisoners into employment on release and ultimately to reduce their likelihood of reoffending.
“The criminal justice system in the UK is at breaking point, with prison populations at an all-time high, and this has a ripple effect impacting services well beyond the justice sector.”
She also wrote that her fellowship project looked at ways to cut reoffending in UK prisons by studying practices used in countries including Norway and Switzerland.
HMP Belmarsh is a Category A men’s prison which houses high-profile offenders, including inmates considered national security risks.
