A Scottish lawyer was found to have sent "at least 50" nude photographs of herself to a man who was sent to prison following a violent attack.
Amy Spencer sent the pictures to a phone contained in the HMP Low Moss in Glasgow, where Grant McNamara is serving a sentence.
The photos were found by a member of staff, who reported the incident to the Law Society of Scotland - the governing body of solicitors in the country.

As reported by the Daily Record, once the pictures were discovered, Spencer ended her employment with Tod & Mitchell, a law firm based in Renfrewshire.
A source at the prison insider stated: “She was caught sending at least 50 naked photographs of herself to Grant McNamara.
“The photographs were seized by prison staff, who recognised her from them.
“She also visited him for long periods of time.”
The insider added: “I am appalled that she is still allowed to work.
“If a male lawyer was sending pictures of his penis to a vulnerable female prisoner ten years his junior, he would probably have been arrested by now.
“But nothing seems to have happened to her, despite the prison service advising the Law Society.”
McNamara was jailed at Paisley Sheriff Court in July over a blade attack which left victim Dale Mitchell scarred for life.
The Paisley man had been released from jail for an axe attack on a taxi driver, when he butchered Mitchell in October 2020 after a row about Facebook posts.
Ms Spencer, a Glasgow University law graduate and a former prosecutor, set up her own business in September.
She declined to comment about the photos when approached, as reported by the Daily Record.
The Law Society of Scotland also refused to comment on whether Ms Spencer is being investigated, saying: “The Law Society of Scotland cannot confirm or deny complaints cases.
“As the professional body for Scottish solicitors, we take our regulatory duties very seriously to ensure that people have confidence in the legal profession.
“In any case where we have reason to believe that one of our members has not met the high professional standards expected of them, we will take action.”
The Scottish Prison Service said it was unable to comment on the matter.
