Prison staffer allegedly involved in sexual relationship with murderer
A whistleblower claims a senior female staffer at a Hunter Valley prison has had an inappropriate sexual relationship with Norfolk Island murderer Glenn McNeill.
The staffer allegedly had an inappropriate relationship with McNeill at Hunter Correctional Centre at the Cessnock Correctional Complex.
