Belmarsh Officer Charged Over Alleged Relationship With Inmate

A June hearing at Woolwich Magistrates' Court could be the first time any evidence is set out in public.

Overview

  • Michelle Molver, 30, appeared at Bromley Magistrates' Court, was granted bail, and is due to return to court in June at Woolwich Magistrates' Court.
  • She is charged with misconduct in public office over an alleged relationship with inmate Kemai Mathurine between August 1 and September 5 last year.
  • No details about the alleged contact were disclosed during the brief first hearing, and the case remains at an early stage.
  • Molver works as HMP Belmarsh’s Prison Employment Lead, a job focused on helping prisoners secure work after release.
  • Belmarsh is a Category A men’s prison that holds high‑profile and national security risk inmates, which heightens scrutiny of staff‑prisoner boundaries.
