A former Penthouse Pet model and prostitute allegedly had sex with a prison guard in an effort to get more privileges after being put behind bars for drug dealing.

Simone Farrow was jailed for 11 years on Friday for her role in running a drug smuggling ring that brought ice into Australia.

However it has now been revealed that the 41-year-old secretly 'engaged in sex' with a guard in exchange for phone calls after being arrested in 2009, the Daily Telegraph reports.

It's alleged the model formed a relationship with the guard while on remand, with Farrow exchanging the sexual favours for calls that weren't recorded.

The phone calls would have allowed Farrow to communicate with those outside prison walls and helped her to organise a defence to the charges against her.

The incident was uncovered in late 2010 after an investigation by the Australian Federal Police.

It was revealed during the investigation that Farrow had told an accomplice about having sex with the guard.

After the investigation the prison officer was given a warning, but later resigned.

Farrow appeared in advertisements for leading brands including Ed Hardy during her time as a model.

She told the court heard she also worked as an escort after being told by her mother that the profession was OK as a teenager.

She later moved to the United States where she allegedly ran the drug syndicate from her Hollywood apartment.

Operating under the name of Simone Starr, she and her associates allegedly hid the methamphetamine in bath products.

Farrow was arrested on the Gold Coast in October 2009 and was then extradited to Sydney.

However her case moved slowly through the courts, with more than seven years passing before she was convicted last week.

In April 2015, Farrow broke down in court while detailing her former drug addiction and suicide attempt.

With her time already served behind bars Farrow will be eligible for parole in 2019.
