Former Highpoint Prison Officer Jailed for Sex Act on Inmate
Rebecca Pinckard was sentenced to 32 weeks after bodycam footage revealed months of misconduct with a prisoner at HMP Highpoint, undermining public trust in the justice system.
- On Friday, Rebecca Pinckard, 46, former prison officer, was jailed for 32 weeks after bodycam clips filmed on 5 July 2024 showed her performing a sex act on Erion Nakdi, 42, at HMP Highpoint.
- The contact between Rebecca Pinckard and Erion Nakdi developed over several months, with Pinckard sending a Moonpig card on April 10, 2024, after a warning in October 2023 for being overfamiliar with prisoners and recently ending a 19-year relationship, defence said.
- Judge Anthony Cartin said, `An officer gathering evidence found evidence from your camera` as sexual videos filmed in Nakdi's cell were recovered from Pinckard's mobile phone and shared via social media messaging, though the filming phone was never recovered.
- The court heard Pinckard failed to report receiving the sexual videos, and Judge Anthony Cartin said her conduct diminishes public confidence.
- Judge Anthony Cartin said `An officer gathering evidence found evidence from your camera` after Pinckard's misconduct was only discovered because of a clumsy mistake, describing her conduct as diminishing public confidence.
