Two former BBC radio presenters have been found guilty of indecently assaulting under-age boys in the 1990s.
Husband and wife Tony and Julie Wadsworth were found guilty by a majority verdict of encouraging six boys to take part in sexual activity between 1992 and 1996.
The couple were also convicted at Warwick Crown Court of outraging public decency by having sex in woodland.
The pair were remanded in custody prior to be sentencing, due at 14:00 BST.
Julie Wadsworth, 60, and her 69-year-old husband, of Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, were accused of assaulting seven boys.
Following a three-week trial, she was convicted by majority 10-2 verdicts of nine indecent assaults and five counts of outraging decency.
Her spouse, who acted as a "look-out" during the sexual activity, was found guilty of the same charges, also by majority verdicts.
Both were found not guilty of three counts of indecent assault, two of which related to a single victim.

If the guy had been found guilty doing similar with girls the same age as the boys and his missus had acted as the look out, any idea what the respective sentences would have been?

It seems to me she was voracious and the old boy couldn't keep up so they looked for stand ins.
They tendered for some youth and the youth obliged.
Wtf is the problem?

Wish I had been "climbing a tree" at the age of 13 and spotted Julie Wadsworth variously dressed in a "flasher's mac" trench coat, white high-heels, stockings, suspenders and a split-skirt Love

She could of serviced my bollox. The confidence boost would of set me up for life. A good looking women too. Five years sentence is just ridiculous. 2 years suspended would of been more than enough with the shame of the case.

Should of kept to the outdoor meets and they never would of been caught. Bloody stupid allowing it to happen in their own home.

I like many think wish it was me but then that's how we think ! But at the end of the day it is child abuse and as has been pointed out we'd be wanting to string up a man abusing young girls.................still wish I'd been their though Cool

Isn't it about whether a person is coerced?
From what I read about the case some weeks ago the young fella was more than happy, even continuing the 'affair' later.

I completely agree with SV above. I find it incredible that any boy would complain about a sexual encounter with an attractive woman.  It would surely give him enormous confidence and get rid of all sorts of adolescent anxieties.

I reckon 99.99% of men would admit they would have given a lot for an experience like that when they were in their boyhood days.

They reported on the pebble mill weatherman that molested kids then Jonathan King last week on the main BBC news. I'm surprised they reported it one after the other. It was bizarre.

Maybe be more suspicious of guys who should not have a good excuse to be round kids? weather man and DJ ?

School trips are very iffy? I never liked them, could not see the point? one day away in a naff place, with strangers. stranger danger.

Agree Jack. Actually I still have my old school uniform, could probably get one leg in my old school shorts past my ankle which would all that would be required Cool

It seems the people getting done at the moment are celebrities, politicians, footballers etc...i.e ones with some dosh.  Compo?

Will they ever come out for the scout leaders, teachers, priests etc...who probably have much easier access to children.

On a serious note, parents today seem to shelter their kids from the perceived dangers out there. Given the number of historical cases today coming to light it must of been just as bad if not worse in our day ! The difference being we didn't have the internet to warn us.
