P.E. Teacher Guilty Of Webcam Sex Acts With 14 Year-Old Girl

A children's football and P.E coach encouraged a 14 year-old girl to perform webcam sex acts on herself with hot wax, clothes pegs and lipstick.

Philip William Boore, 36, told the teenager to address him as 'Sir' and play the role of a naughty schoolgirl submissive to his commands.

The qualified coach, who lives with his parents in Dover Street, Chippenham, Wiltshire, is attached to the town's award-winning Stanley Park Sports Ground.

He was found guilty at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court of three counts of inciting the girl to engage in sexual activity on or before August 5, 2014.

He was cleared of possessing two indecent photos of a child, namely two topless images of the girl.

Boore was bailed to return for sentencing on February 26.

Prosecutor Mr. Martin Hooper told the court the sexually-active Wimbledon teenager responded to Boore online when he listed one of his interests as fetish sexual activity.

"They got chatting and the defendant got her involved in various sexual activities," he said. "There's no doubt about this.

"He instructed her to insert a lipstick tube into her vagina, to clip clothes pegs to her breasts and pour hot candle wax over her breasts.

"The question is whether he reasonably believed she was sixteen years of age or older.

"It is not in dispute she sent him two photographs of herself topless. They were not asked for and he opened them on his mobile phone."

They first chatted online for four hours and exchanged their names and phone numbers, with the girl lying to Boore and claiming to be sixteen years-old, the jury were told.

"She said the second time they spoke he said he was into BDSM (bondage and sadomasochism) which she thought was disgusting, but wanted to stay communicating with him.

"He said they would role-play with her as the naughty schoolgirl and him as the dominant," explained Mr. Hooper. "He'd be the teacher.

"He is a sports coach and works in schools and knows ages, uniforms and exam times.

"She could see him on her laptop screen and once noticed he had an erect penis when showing her some sex toys.

"He told her he was a teacher and that concerned her and she told her counsellor, who encouraged her to tell her mother and the police were contacted."

Boore was arrested on August 5, 2014 and taken to Melksham Police Station by officers who also seized his computer, mobile phone and sex toys.

He told police he taught children aged 5-11 years-old and said: "I can't say that I did take her age. She said she was at school and that could be up to eighteen years-old, I took her to be sixteen.

"I should have stopped, but I got over-excited."

Mr. Hooper told the jury: "He agreed knowing she was still at school, but given her interest in fetish and being sexually active he thought she was sixteen.

"He said he let himself down and should have made some checks and said he was shocked to find out she was two years below sixteen."

The girl told Boore she had not even started her GCSE's and she told police during a video interview his hand was motioning under the table as she played with herself.

As for the lipstick she said: "He told me to lick it and insert it," also telling officers about the clothes pegs: "He wanted me to do twenty, but I did two. It was painful and I couldn't sustain it."

She also poured hot candle wax on herself at his request. "I poured it on my chest. He wanted me to cover my nipples, which was quite painful."

Boore is a Football in the Community Coach, who has a Bsc degree in Bsc Sports & Exercise Science and hold coaching certificates for Football Level 2 and Cricket Level 2.

He also holds Level 1 certificates in hockey, rugby, badminton, tennis, emergency first aid, child protection and disabled football.

Army Major's Daughter Caught With Party Drugs At Nightclub

An Army Major's graduate daughter was caught with twenty wraps of of an ecstasy-type drug after travelling from her sleepy Norfolk town to party with pals in London.

Danielle Taylor, 23, of The Old Police House, Fakenham Road, Dereham pleaded guilty to possessing MDMA - known as 'Molly' - at the landmark Electric Brixton club, Town Hall Parade, Brixton.

"I wouldn't know where to look for them in Norfolk," she told Camberwell Green Magistrates Court this week. "I tried it in the first year of university five years ago and had it quite a few times in my first year."

The prosecution charged her with intending to supply the drug, but she was cleared of this more serious charge and was conditionally discharged for six months.

Now an intern with a Mayfair interior designer Taylor- whose father served in the Royal Fusiliers - had travelled to the capital for the Notting Hill Carnival.

"I live in a little village, it's quite small. Around eight-hundred people live there."

She began the weekend by visiting her boyfriend, who is studying medicine at the University of Manchester.

"I bought MDMA there. It is very easy to get hold of," explained the Birmingham City University graduate.

"It was the first time we had been to the Notting Hill Carnival and the Electric Brixton. It was our first big night out in London."

She had paid £80 for the powdered drugs and split them into tiny wraps using cigarette filters.

"If you pre-organise it you have a better understanding of what you have taken.

"You can take it and see what effect it has on you and make a decision on that.

"I would have taken five or seven. The night was going on quite late and then there was the next day at the carnival."

Explaining why she bought the drugs after not taking them for a while Taylor told the court: "I think it was the excitement of coming down to London, going to the carnival and going on a night out.

"It was a place that stays open late and I thought: 'Why not?'"

The court heard Taylor was searched by a female security guard as she entered the club after midnight and a 'box-like object' was found in her bra strap.

She refused four times to remove it, but eventually staff examined the contents and called the police.

Taylor told the police. "The drugs are MD. I must take responsibility for my actions."

District Judge Ann Sawetz told her: "You are not a drug dealer and were not drug-dealing.

"I hope you have now lost interest, I bet your dad hopes so. It could effect your brain or you could be dead.

"Spend your money on something sensible."

Honeysuckle Weeks & Michael Kitchen

Foyle's War actress Honeysuckle Weeks is currently wearing an electronic ankle tag to impose a night time curfew after being caught speeding in her BMW while banned and with a small child in the passenger seat.

The 36 year-old Cardiff-born star - who played driver Samantha Stewart in the ITV drama, which starred Michael Kitchen in the title role - broke the 50mph limit on the A3 in south-west London while behind the wheel of the black 2.0 litre vehicle she should not have been driving. 

Weeks, of Harrow Road, Harrow, who appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates Court under her married name of Stormonth-Darling pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified along Robin Hood Way, Putney on August 17, last year and received an electronically-monitored four-week curfew, which prevents her leaving home between 9pm and 7am and was disqualified from driving for four months.

She admitted speeding and was fined £250, with £85 costs and ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge. 

There was no separate penalty for the offence of her child passenger - aged between three and thirteen years-old - not wearing the regulation seat belt.

A charge of driving without insurance was withdrawn by the prosecution.

During the proceedings a warrant, with bail, was issued for her arrest after she failed to appear in court for the second time after missing her first scheduled appearance when she claimed to be caring for an ill child.

Roedean-educated Honeysuckle, whose brother Rollo and sister Perdita are also pursuing acting careers, is an Oxford University graduate who married hypnotherapist Lorne Stormonth-Darling in a Buddhist ceremony in the Himalayas in 2005.

She has one child, Wade, born in 2011.

Her acting credits include television programmes Close Relations, Ladies & Their Gentleman, Midsomer Murders, Poirot, Death in Paradise and Lewis and film appearances in Lorna Doone and My Brother Tom.

Company Boss Jailed For Scamming 78 Year-Old Pensioner Out Of £30K

A Glasgow company director, who defrauded a 78 year-old woman out of nearly £30,000 during a convincing telephone scam – laundering over half the proceeds through his firm – has received three years.

Nasrullah Mohammed, 55, of Leven Street, Pollokshields withdrew another £9,500 in cash from a Post Office in St. Vincent Street and took further sums from ATMS around the city.

He was convicted at south-west London's Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court to defrauding Mary Black by falsely representing she should make a £29,474 transfer from her Halifax account to his RBS account between December 19 and 24, 2013.

Mohammed was also found guilty by the jury of transferring criminal property, namely £17,375, from his RBS account to the account of his company Green Deal between the same dates.

Prosecutor Mr. Philip Stott told the court: “She was conned into transferring that sum from her bank account by someone pretending to be an employee of her bank who telephoned her.

“She was conned into transferring money into the bank account of Mr. Mohammed, who quickly transferred the money into another bank account he controlled and then withdrew in cash.”

The court heard Mrs Black and her husband received a telephone call on December 20 from a fraudster posing as a Halifax bank official.

“The caller pretended there had been an attempt to draw large sums of money from her account and she needed to take steps to transfer the funds to a secure account.”

She was given account details – Mohammed's RBS account – and a £18,674 transfer was made.

“She describes the man on the telephone as very reassuring and there is no doubt he must have been convincing.”

However, the fraudsters pursued the couple for more money and convinced Mrs Black to make online transfers of £7,000 and £3,800 over the next couple of days.

She eventually contacted Halifax herself and discovered she had been defrauded with no prospect of recovering the money or receiving any compensation.

Before the fraud Mohammed had only £50 in his RBS account and emptied Mrs Black's money in just two days.

He will now also been subject to financial confiscation under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
