Prisoner gives birth after cell sex

Donna Stokes, 19, had sex with 24-year-old Paul Rosser through the bars of the cell while they were waiting to have their cases heard at Swansea Crown Court.

An inquiry was carried out after it was confirmed that Ms Stokes was pregnant following the encounter in December.

The couple - who had a three-year relationship - were being held separately in custody awaiting an appearance at the court.

Stokes - accused of burglary, theft and driving offences - was driven to the court from a remand centre.

Rosser was also there facing charges relating to a burglary and a machete attack.

Stokes from Bon-y-maen in Swansea, said she was made to stand in a corridor, separated by bars from the men's cells where her boyfriend was being held.

"We hadn't seen each other for months and were all over each other through a barred gate in the middle of the corridor," she said at the time.

She said they managed to have sex, despite the presence of security escort staff from Bristol-based Reliance Custodial Services.

A security guard was later disciplined.

Stokes is being held at Holloway prison in London for burglary and driving offences and will be allowed to keep her daughter Tameka with her until she is freed in May.

Rosser continues to serve his sentence for burglary and a machete attack.

They couple have told friends that they want to marry when they are released.
