Female prison guard Amy Connors (pictured) is alleged to have had sex with cop killer Sione Penisini
A female prison guard accused of having sex with a cop killer behind bars reportedly had extreme weightloss surgery to make herself ‘more attractive’ to the inmate.
Amy Connors and convicted killer Sione Penisini are alleged to have had a sexual relationship within the walls of Kempsey maximum-security prison, in New South Wales.
Connors, a married mother-of-two, was reported to be pregnant with Penisini’s child, but her family has denied those claims according to radio station 2GB.
Penisini was sentenced to 36 years jail in 2002, after being convicted of murdering police officer Glenn McEnally.
Corrective Services staff reportedly had Connors and Penisini under surveillance for a month before they swooped, suspending the guard from duty, Nine News reported.

Penisini has since been moved to Goulburn Supermax jail, home to Australia’s most hardened criminals, after allegedly assaulting a fellow prisoner in recent weeks.
Penisini allegedly ‘groomed’ Connors by pushing her into the weightloss surgery.
Neither guard or prisoner will face charges if the alleged tryst is proven – because it is not illegal.
Corrective Services Minister David Elliot said the allegations were not a criminal act but ‘it is a breach of the code of conduct’ for Corrective Services staff.
Mr Elliot’s office is now reportedly looking to make it illegal for corrections staff and prisoners to have sexual relations.
Police Association president Tony King slammed Mr Elliot and Corrective Services Commissioner Peter Severin after the allegations were made public.
‘If Elliott and Severin were doing their jobs, every cop killer would be rotting away in Supermax, it’s a direct slap in the face of every officer, all of us who have worn the blue shirt,’ he said on Tuesday.

Connors reportedly attempted to tender her resignation after being suspended on Friday but it was denied because Correction Services wish to complete their investigations first.
Mr Elliot is set to visit the Kempsey jail in the coming week and said he had spoken to Constable McEnally’s mother and expressed his sincerest apologies that this could happen.
‘It is clear this inmate should never have been alone with a junior female officer. I am keen to see what options we could implement to ensure this is never allowed to happen again,’ he said.
