Showjumper accuses underage girl of faking messages about ‘threesome he had with her and 26-year-old horse rider'
A SHOWJUMPER today accused an underage girl of faking messages about an alleged threesome he made her have with him and a horse rider. Guy Simmonds, 37, and Lauren Jarvis, 26, are accused of targeting the girl despite knowing she was under 16. 4 Lauren Jarvis allegedly had a threesome with a teenage girl Credit: WNS 4 Guy Simmonds is accused of abusing the girl in a horsebox Credit: WNS Equestrian boss Simmonds called himself "daddy" in messages to the youngster and would abuse her while his girlfriend was away, jurors heard. Cardiff Crown Court heard that in January 2024, he messaged fellow rider Jarvis to organise a threesome at her home - asking when he should "pop over". Simmonds then allegedly 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. Read more news He today claimed the girl had lied about the encounter and accused her of creating bogus WhatsApp conversations after he rejected her. Simmonds suggested to jurors she may have used a "pranking' app to create the messages or even messaged herself from another device while using his name. He added: 'I believe the messages to be fake.' Jurors heard previously Simmonds messaged Jarvis after the alleged threesome to say: "You both loved that haha". Most read in The Sun Jarvis then replied: "Yeah, you missed round two" with a wink emoji. They later hatched a "pact of silence" when they got wind that the girl was talking about the alleged threesome, the court heard. Simmonds text Jarvis, saying: "Hey, I have a feeling that [name of alleged victim] has said about us. "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." The messages also showed Simmonds messaged Jarvis before the encounter, saying: "I don't want to turn up at the same time that her mum drops her off." But he claimed today he only sent the text as he was "cheating" and knew the girl and her mum knew his partner. Simmonds also told the court the girl had previously made him and his partner feel 'uncomfortable' by using 'inappropriate' language about sex. He said: 'There were rumours that she was telling people that I had been trying it on with her. I was worried. 'The horse world is very small. I wanted to keep my reputation. She was a very volatile person.' Simmonds ran a riding school that offered "showjumping horse production and sales, coaching and schooling" in the village of Undy in Wales. He added the girl on Facebook and told her "thanks for accepting" before being told her age, it is said. The experienced showjumper would allegedly regularly take the girl into a horsebox to sexually abuse her while they were alone at the stables. Jurors heard that at one point, this was happening every couple of days when Simmonds' girlfriend was away. The alarm was raised when the girl told her dad what had allegedly happened and he alerted police. In her police interview, the girl said she felt she could not just walk away because she was scared Simmonds would "hurt me". She added: "I wasn't smiling and stuff when this was going on. If you looked at my face you could tell there was fear." The girl claimed there was one occasion where Simmonds took out his phone and allegedly began filming her. She told police he had a "little smirk on his face", the court heard. Simmonds later dumped his mobile in a bin at a Tesco just days before he was arrested for alleged sexual contact with a child. He denied he was attempting to destroy evidence - and claimed the phone was broken when he was quizzed by police. The court heard he also burned or threw away a mattress from his horse box where he is accused of repeatedly having sex with the victim. Simmonds told police he did not have any form of sexual contact with the victim. He also claimed any messages about a threesome were "banter and a wind up." Simmonds denies six counts of sexual activity with a child, while Jarvis has pleaded not guilty to one charge of sexual activity with a child. The trial continues. 4 Jarvis allegedly entered into a 'pact of silence' with Simmonds Credit: WNS 4 She has denied the offences Credit: WNS

NHS worker and her paedo lover plotted ‘brutal' sex attacks on children & wanted to target lone kids on camping trips
A DEPRAVED NHS worker and her paedo lover plotted "brutal" sex attacks on children to divulge their sick fantasies. Tracy Turner, 51, and Stuart Compton, 46, who referred to each other as Bonnie and Clyde, set their sights on two girls and a boy. Advertisement 4 Tracy Turner and Stuart Compton planned to carry out vile child abuse Credit: WNS They planned to lure unattended children on camping trips and shared thousands of twisted texts outlining the potential abuse. The vile pair also plotted to strike at music festivals, with Compton praising Turner's sick idea as "genius, babe". Turner even offered to babysit one planned victim so the couple carry out their sex attacks. They have now been jailed after pleading guilty to six counts of arranging sex with a child. Advertisement Read more news Compton also pleaded guilty to six counts of making indecent images, while Turner admitted two counts of the same offence. Merthyr Crown Court heard the couple's conversations demonstrated a "clear intent to arrange and commit sexual acts" with young children - although no child was ever abused. Prosecutor Matthew Cobbe said: "The first threads of messages suggested fantasy, they expressly talked about fantasy, but this developed into an obsession. "Their obsession drove them to discuss over and over the sexual acts that they intended to perform and the ways that they believed that they could achieve that goal." Advertisement Most read in The Sun Latest In total, the couple exchanged more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages discussing their depraved plans. They spoke about raping an eight-year-old girl in an abandoned shed before "disposing" of her afterwards. The pair also plotted to rape two other children - a boy Turner attempted to groom and a girl aged under 13. Sick messages also revealed how Compton suggested going to a "hippy" music festival where drug-use would mean young girls could be left unattended. Advertisement The pair's twisted plans were only exposed when a "well-known online dating app" contacted police with concerns over Compton. When police raided his home, they found a haul of illegal weapons including a baton, knuckle duster and blade as well as child sex abuse images on his phone. Officers analysed messages on his phone and found a "massive amount" of exchanges between him and Turner. In a victim impact statement, the mum of one of the victims said: "The thought of what could have happened to our daughter by two people who have monstrous sexual intent is unforgivable." Advertisement While the dad of another girl described the pair's crimes as "incomprehensible". Compton was handed a life sentence and must serve at least six years and 131 days behind bars. Turner was jailed for 12 years with a two year extended licence. The couple were also charged with plotting to kidnap and murder of a girl under 13 but this was left to lie on the file. Advertisement Turner worked in the busy operating theatre at the 800-bed University Hospital in Cardiff until she was suspended after police were contacted. A spokeswoman for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said: "The health board suspended the individual once we were made aware of the allegations against them. "This is a sensitive issue and the health board has been cooperating with partners in South Wales Police. "We are not able to comment further while court proceedings are ongoing."
