Prison launches probe into Facebook posts from account of nightclub waitress jailed for trying to blackmail cop with fake rape threat
Georgia Harris, 20, was sentenced to eight months in a young offenders' institution
A PRISON has launched a probe after a string of messages were shared on the Facebook of a teen jailed for blackmailing a police officer, including the message: "I'm back and ready to party."
Georgia Harris was sentenced to eight months prison after doctoring a video to make it look like a police officer threatened her with rape.
But after Harris was taken into custody after being found guilty at Maidstone Crown Court in Kent on Wednesday, a number of messages appeared on the young woman's Facebook, with the account's messages also accessed.
One message posted on Thursday 5pm read: "I'm back and ready to party #MasterKey."
Another message, since deleted, shared just hours later read: "How can I be in prison and be on social media your (sic) all dumb c***s."
Her Facebook Messenger app was also accessed at a similar time, showing she was online around 11pm on Thursday.
The messages have now sparked an investigation within HMP Bronzefield, with the prison confirming that "immediate action" is taken when it is made aware of a prisoner potentially using a mobile phone.
The young woman's Facebook has since been deactivated.
Earlier this week the court heard that Harris, who worked at Faces nightclub in Chelmsford, Essex, threatened she would go to police with the recording if the 22-year-old Met Police officer did not pay her £200.
In the doctored clip, secretly recorded after Harris instigated a conversation with the unsuspecting officer about a "hypothetical" sex attack scenario, he can only be heard saying: “I’d be raping you”, and her replying “I don’t want you to rape me”.

The pair, who had first met online in December 2015, had started talking again in March last year before Harris unleashed the blackmailing attempt.
The woman, now 20, has since apologised saying she was not in her right mind.
A HMP Bronzefield spokesperson said: "The smuggling of mobile phones is a challenge that HMP Bronzefield, like other prisons, faces but one that we continue to invest resources in and work hard to try and address.
"As soon as we are made aware of the possibility of the presence of a mobile phone in the possession of a prisoner immediate action is taken. "Possession of a mobile phone in prison is a criminal offence.
"We are investigating this matter, and cannot comment further."
HMP Bronzefield is the first PFI prison built specifically for women in the UK.
The Middlesex prison's population includes young offenders and those sentenced to life behind bars.
It is not the first time prisoners have been caught using their phones, with lags showing off banned iPhones while behind bars.
Convict Dominic Usher was also caught scoffing McDonald's cheese burgers and throwing parties in jail, with clips recorded on banned phones.
