Sick ‘adult baby diaper lover' who dumped soiled nappies at nurseries and slept in clinical waste bins avoids jail
One nursery worker saw a pair of legs poking out the waste bin GRIM FETISH Sick 'adult baby diaper lover' who dumped soiled nappies at nurseries and slept in clinical waste bins avoids jail A SICK "adult baby diaper lover" who dumped soiled nappies at nurseries and slept in clinical waste bins has avoided jail. Abbi Taylor also smeared excrement on to milk bottles and the walls of nurseries in a vile rampage. 2 Abbi Taylor dumped dirty nappies at nurseries in Newcastle Credit: Alamy The 46-year-old was previously called Martin Tarling but now identifies as a woman and was referred to in court as such. Taylor would scramble into clinical waste bins for "comfort" and referred to herself on Facebook as an "adult baby diaper lover". The creep was handed a two year sentence, suspended for two years, after pleading guilty to three counts of dumping bags of toxic materials. Taylor also admitted admitted stealing clinical waste bags from one of the businesses and breaching a criminal behaviour order that barred them from being within 10m of a nursery. The judge, Recorder Richard Herrmann, said: "This is a highly unusual and highly troubling set of offences, made all the more troubling by your failure to properly and fully explain the motivation behind your bizarre offending." Newcastle Crown Court heard Taylor terrorised nurseries in the South Shields area over a six-year period. Staff at one premises discovered the dirty diapers in May 2023 - then spotted a "pair of legs" clambering out of one of the waste bins. Another nursery believed a rival business was dumping waste when they found 50 soiled nappies. Taylor had also smeared faeces on milk bottles and the fire escape. In April 2023, magistrates slapped Taylor with a three-year criminal behaviour order preventing the perv from going within 100m of nurseries. But Taylor flouted the order and continued to target nurseries in the area. A victim statement from one boss said the behaviour was "really unsettling" adding: "You never knew what you were going to find." Businesses suffered as a result of having to pay to improve security measures, the court was told. Staff at one nursery were also so concerned they went in pairs when going outside to put soiled waste into the bins. Jane Foley, prosecuting, said Taylor had "flagrantly disregarded the law". The court heard Taylor is thought to be "regressing" to childhood and searching for a "gentler more carefree time". Nick Lane, defending, added: "Miss Taylor accepts going to childcare settings and entering the bins… in order to gain comfort."

Neighbours of Brit grandad who ‘attempted to drown' daughter-in-law say she WAS his ‘girlfriend' as they reveal shock
The British grandad denied to cops that he was in a relationship with his daughter-in-law POOL 'ATTACK' Neighbours of Brit grandad who 'attempted to drown' daughter-in-law say she WAS his 'girlfriend' as they reveal shock FRIENDS of a British grandad accused of trying to drown his daughter-in-law have told of their shock at his attempted murder charge. Neighbours revealed how Mark Gibbon, 62, would "often" have his alleged victim Jasmine Wyld - who locals described as his "girlfriend" - "staying with him". Advertisement 5 Gibbon and Wyld have been pictured together on several occasions Credit: Facebook 5 Gibbon has been charged with the attempted murder of his daughter-in-law Credit: Polk County Sheriff's Office/PA Wire 5 Wyld shares two children with Gibbon's son Alex Credit: Facebook Divorced Gibbon was arrested last week after allegedly forcing Wyld's head under the water in a pool at a Florida resort during a spat about his will. Lighting technician Gibbon, who has worked with pop stars like Ed Sheeran and once helped make the late Queen Elizabeth's Christmas TV broadcast, is rumoured to have been dating Wyld - his son's ex. Both Gibbon and Wyld, 33, denied to police that they were romantically involved with each other. But neighbours of Gibbon's £800,000 semi-detached home in the posh Buckinghamshire market town of Beaconsfield openly referred to Wyld as Gibbon's girlfriend. Advertisement They also expressed their horror at the arrest of the grandad -who they said "kept himself to himself" - over the alleged attempted murder of Wyld. One neighbour said: "Everybody is shocked by this." A woman living next door refused to give her name but said she was good friends with the mum-of-two. She told The Sun: "I'd never have imagined this might happen. Advertisement "Jasmine used to stay here a lot with the children. But I don't want to say much more because she is a friend of mine." Gibbon's large brick-built semi-detached house was empty today with two vans and silver Skoda car parked outside. Moment drunk Brit pensioner, 66, is left with broken arm after getting into fight with Thai bar girl & being thrown to ground There was a statue of Buddha by the front door, along with two stickers saying 'Smile you're on camera'. Net curtains covered the windows. John Atkinson, 81, who lives across the road, said he was shocked at the situation. Advertisement He said: "It's very difficult to countenance that Mark was trying to kill Jasmine. "Jasmine was often staying with him along with his grandchildren. "She always struck me as quite a cheerful character.' It comes after a rift between Gibbon and his son Alex - Wyld's ex-husband - emerged. Advertisement Hairdresser Wyld separated from Alex, who she shares two children with, in 2021. Just two years after they separated, Alex, 34, was jailed for trying to run over his dad in a £80,000 Porsche Cayenne in Beaconsfield. As well as assaulting his father, Alex also pleaded guilty to harassing ex-wife Wyld. Alex was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court to 25 months in jail, a 36-month disqualification from driving, a five-year restraining order, plus a surcharge. Advertisement 5 Jasmine Wyld, 33, and Mark Gibbon, 62, were understood to be in a relationship Credit: Facebook 5 Wyld claims Gibbon tried to drown her in Florida Credit: Facebook The dad was released from jail around six months ago and went to move in with his mum, who had divorced Gibbon some years earlier. Alex and his father also became embroiled in a public row in 2023 after Alex left his dad's business for an unknown reason. Advertisement It is understood the pair no longer speak. Gibbon is being held in Polk County Jail - and both he and Wyld denied to cops that they were in a relationship. A detective asked Gibbon and mum-of-two Wyld "about their relationship to determine if the incident would be classified as domestic violence". Gibbon is due in court next week over the attempted murder charge levelled against him, and another hearing is set for September for his arraignment on two battery charges. Advertisement He and Wyld were on holiday at the Solterra Resort in Devenport, near Disney World, Florida with Wyld's two children - Gibbon's grandkids - when the row over his will erupted, police say. The pair were arguing when Gibbon allegedly push Wyld's head "under the water and held her down multiple times". She claimed she "could not breathe" and "believed she was going to drown". Police say Wyld was forced to "fight Mark in order to get away from him and from under the water but he kept pushing her back under". Advertisement Her nine-year-old daughter then leapt to her mother's defence but was pushed away by Gibbon, it is claimed. Gibbon is alleged to have stopped when two women dialled 911. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said after his arrest: 'Because Mr Gibbon couldn't control his anger, he may find himself spending a lot more time in Florida than he had anticipated.' When questioned, Gibbon is claimed to have admitted to pushing Jasmine underwater, but insisted he hadn't been trying to drown her.
