A prison officer mother-of-five who had a torrid affair with an armed robber before having his baby has revealed how their sordid relationship began - only for him to end up in jail again after attacking her.
Rachel Stanton, 32, admitted to wilful misconduct in public office after she entered a relationship with Edwin Poole while he was serving a 10-and-a-half-year sentence in HMP Five Wells, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.
Her romance with Poole was uncovered when prison staff found three intimate photographs and a sexy love letter in the inmate's cell.
And now Stanton has spoken out for the first time as she extraordinarily blamed the stress of her job for the illegal affair - and continues to deny they ever had a sexual encounter while still in prison.
In a confessional interview, she revealed her ex-husband has taken her back and blamed Poole for not 'flushing away' her intimate pictures.
