Showjumper and horse rider GUILTY of forcing underage girl into sex with them before hatching ‘pact of silence'
Twisted paedo called himself 'daddy' in vile messages to girl SICK CRIME Showjumper and horse rider GUILTY of forcing underage girl into sex with them before hatching 'pact of silence' A SHOWJUMPER and horse rider have been found guilty of forcing an underage girl into having sex with them. Guy Simmonds, 37, and Lauren Jarvis, 26, targeted the girl despite knowing she was under 16. Advertisement 3 Lauren Jarvis had a so-called threesome with a teenage girl Credit: WNS 3 She and Guy Simmonds knew how old the teen was but still targeted her Credit: WNS Equestrian boss Simmonds called himself "daddy" in messages to the youngster as he plotted the illicit encounter. He and Jarvis then hatched a "pact of silence" when they got wind that the girl was talking about it. The pair were today convicted of sexual activity with a child following a trial. Simmonds was found not guilty on five other charges of sexual activity with a child relating to the same victim. Advertisement Cardiff Crown Court heard Simmonds bragged he was a "top showjumper" after targeting the underage girl on Facebook. Prosecutor James Hartson said there was a "clear element of grooming behaviour" from Simmonds, who had "no doubt at all" about the girl's age. He added: "At all times he knew how old she was and so did Jarvis. The victim told him herself in one of the very first messages she sent him. "The defendants didn't care about her age when they were planning and engaging in a so-called threesome with the victim. Advertisement "They also knew what they did was wrong and they agreed a pact of silence when they got wind she had started to talk about it." In January 2024, he messaged fellow rider Jarvis to organise the encounter at her home - asking when he should "pop over". Simmonds then text the girl to inform her of the plan, telling her: "You will both do what daddy says." The girl told the court Simmonds got her and Jarvis to "do stuff" with each other before he had sex with both of them. Advertisement Simmonds then messaged Jarvis after the encounter to say: "You both loved that haha". Jarvis replied: "Yeah, you missed round two" with a wink emoji. The pair then cooked up their vow of silence in a twisted bid to cover their crime. Simmonds text Jarvis, saying: "Hey, I have a feeling that [name of alleged victim] has said about us. Advertisement "If anyone asks for sake of both of us nothing ever happened that night xx." Jarvis replied: "Hey, who's she told? Oh god has she really, what's she trying to do, make our lives hell? Of course I will xx." Simmonds ran a riding school that offered "showjumping horse production and sales, coaching and schooling" in the village of Undy in Wales. The alarm was raised when the girl told her dad what had happened and he alerted police. Advertisement But Simmonds told police he did not have any form of sexual contact with the victim. He also claimed any messages about the encounter with Jarvis were "banter and a wind up." Judge Lucy Crowther adjourned the case for sentencing on September 29. 3 Jarvis entered into a 'pact of silence' with Simmonds Credit: WNS

Full catalogue of failures in Titan sub disaster laid bare in new report… & ‘negligent' CEO Stockton Rush WAS to blame
DOOMED SUB Full catalogue of failures in Titan sub disaster laid bare in new report… & 'negligent' CEO Stockton Rush WAS to blame A DAMNING report into the doomed Titan sub has laid a bare catalogue of fatal failures and negligence that led to the deaths of five people. The bombshell file also points squarely at OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush as the man to blame for the 2023 disaster. Advertisement 3 Damning report into doomed sub tragedy finds catastrophe was 'preventable' and down to a deadly cocktail of errors Credit: AP 3 The 335-page investigation, released Tuesday by the US Coast Guard, concludes the tragedy was "preventable" and driven by "critically flawed" practices, design shortcuts, and an appalling safety culture inside the deep-sea tourism company. Rush, who died in the implosion along with four passengers near the wreck of the Titanic, was found to have "exhibited negligence that contributed to the deaths of four individuals", according to the report. In a stinging assessment, investigators said had Rush survived, they would have recommended the Department of Justice consider a criminal probe. The report stated: "For several years preceding the incident, OceanGate leveraged intimidation tactics, allowances for scientific operations, and the company's favourable reputation to evade regulatory scrutiny. Advertisement "By strategically creating and exploiting regulatory confusion… OceanGate was ultimately able to operate Titan completely outside of the established deep-sea protocols."
