Ex-Highpoint Prison Officer Gets 32 Weeks After Bodycam Captured Sex Act With Inmate

A routine review of her camera footage exposed the misconduct, triggering an ERSOU investigation.

Overview

  • Rebecca Pinckard, 46, was sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court to 32 weeks for misconduct in public office.
  • Two clips recorded on July 5, 2024 showed a sexual act in a HMP Highpoint store cupboard, discovered during a body-worn camera review.
  • The judge said the offending spanned months, citing a Moonpig card sent to inmate Erion Nakdi in April 2024 and a 2023 warning for overfamiliarity.
  • Explicit videos of Nakdi filmed in his cell were recovered from Pinckard’s phone, accepted as sent from inside prison via social media.
  • Nakdi received an extra 10 months for unauthorised possession of a mobile phone, to run consecutively to his existing 16-year three-month drugs sentence.
