Katerina Tatus was reportedly “marched to the gates” of the jail by her former colleagues and is now being probed by U.K. cops. The U.K. Sun reported that Tatus was believed to have worked for the prison service for around three years.
She was busted after a fellow officer dropped a dime on her alleged amorous antics.
Sources told the British tabloid that Tatus worked at HMS Feltham Penitentiary, which includes a young offenders wing for bad boys aged 15 to 18. However, the incidents aren’t related to the youth wing, a corrections source said.
“Katerina was stopped and marched to the gates by security,” a source told the U.K. Sun. She has been accused of having an affair and being too close to a prisoner.
“It is unclear if it was a Feltham inmate or if something happened with someone at another jail.”

On her Facebook page, Tatus shared a variety of photos depicting her enjoying sunny getaways in the Caribbean.
When approached by the U.K. Sun, she told the reporter: “I didn’t do anything, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Feltham is one of the most violent prisons in the U.K. A recent inspection described an environment that is volatile where children play “the big man” and have to be kept apart by force.
A Prison Service spokesman told the newspaper: “It would be inappropriate to comment on a live police investigation.”
The British prison service has been wracked by a number of sex scandals in recent years.
In January, swinger and OnlyFans model Linda de Sousa Abreu — a former guard — was jailed for 15 months after she was videotaped in a jail cell with a career criminal. She was working as a prison officer at HMS Wandsworth at the time.

Her torrid tryst with career criminal Linton Weirich was filmed by another jailbird who was smoking marijuana as the action unfolded.
The 30-year-old married guard had sex with Weirich three times over several days. The raunchy footage soon hit the internet and Abreu tried to flee the country.
Judge Martin Edmunds sentenced the sobbing Abreu to 15 months in prison, saying she was an “enthusiastic participant” in the wild sexual encounter.
Before becoming a guard, Abreu moonlighted as an OnlyFans model.
The judge said that not only did Abreu bring the prison system into disrepute, she had made the job more dangerous for other female guards.
At the time, Abreu claimed she “felt like a gangster” during sex with the jailbird and that she “loved” him. Her role as prison guard gave her a boost of “power” she said.
Abreu’s amorous antics came to light when her sex video went viral and her bosses saw it.
In addition, prison officer and single mom Katie Evans, 26, was jailed earlier this month for a sexual jailhouse relationship with convicted robber Daniel Brownley while working at HMP Doncaster.
Her downfall came when she boasted to a fellow officer that she performed oral sex on Brownley multiple times and collected drug money on his behalf over six months in 2020.
