A prison psychologist sent hundreds of messages – many explicit – to her inmate lovers, it has been alleged.

Sarah-Jane Lodington, also known as Sarah-Jane Florentin, was working at a Queensland low security jail at the time when hundreds of texts messages and emails were sent detailing the alleged sexual encounters, according to documents filed in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT), which will hold a disciplinary hearing for Lodington’s alleged breaches of professional ethics, the Sunday Mailreports.

The messages document the mother-of-four’s alleged sexual encounters with both Allen Marcel Milos in 2018 and David Gardiner in 2019, after they met during psychology sessions.

In them she wrote about her “mind-numbing” romps with drug trafficker Milos and how she’ll wait for him to say he loves her, because she’s “not some psycho b**ch”.

“I guess my point is you make me feel very special when you make love to me, it’s the way you kiss me I think,” she wrote.

However, in another message she bemoaned how his “lack of effort” on their relationship can also makes her feel “used”.

Lodington, 41, who has been suspended from the profession since 2019, expressed a wish to delve deeper into the relationship.

“I want to have some proper psych sessions with you, if you can let me have sessions with you like you’re just a client I can separate the two I do it all the time. I want do core beliefs work.”

She later also wrote to her other lover, Gardiner: “I think you’re an amazing lover … I’ve never had more pleasure in my life.”

In her messages there was much expression about hope for the future together, including living together and starting a family.

“I’m so excited for our future and making a precious bubba with you.”

She also allegedly sent selfies to Gardiner from insider her office and of her modelling dresses, and received a photograph of a male torso on her phone.

Lodington worked as a psychologist at Palen Creek between December 2017 and February 2019. She was suspended from her job, then resigned three weeks later. The messages were downloaded from her phone by Corrective Services Investigations Unit officers the day before her suspension.

Lodington allegedly engaged in sexual acts with Milos in her office and the male prison’s women’s staff quarters, although she denied this claim. She also denied having sex with Gadiner while he was in jail, saying they only consummated their relationship upon his release in December 2019.

However, Milos spoke out alleging they were in a relationship “for months” back in 2018 when Lodington was prosecuted in 2020 by the Southport Magistrates Court. She was sentenced to two years probation after taking part in a conference call with Allen and Daniel Milos.

She pleaded guilty to two counts of abuse of office, one count of disclosing confidential information and the one count of taking a “prohibited thing” inside a prison.

The Office of the Health Ombudsman has brought the current case in the QCAT in a bid to prove that Ms Lodington is guilty of professional misconduct.

A lawyer for Ms Lodington declined to comment to the Sunday Mail about the messages.

A directions hearing for Lodington is scheduled for December 2.
