India, March 4 -- A former prison officer, who claimed to have become sexually involved with a convict and called herself "his queen", has been jailed for 21 months in United Kingdom's Doncaster.

26-year-old Katie Evans was found guilty of misconduct in a public office after being 'manipulated' by a convict Daniel Brownley at HMP Doncaster, BBC reported citing Sheffield Crown Court.

While delivering the order, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC said there was "no excuse" for her offence despite her being "manipulated by an experienced criminal".

Evans, now a mother-of-one, is a resident of Hatfield, Doncaster, and started working at the prison in 2020, where she soon became involved with Brownley, who had a history of criminal offences.
