Midland schoolchildren filmed in the nude

Jul 2 2009 By Steve Bradley

A TEACHING assistant helped her late husband to make sick films of children in the nude after they lured them back to their home for swimming pool parties, a jury was told.

Rosemary Foxall, aged 49, made indecent videos of pre-teenage girls with her husband Martin, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard.

Using a secret camera poking through the ceiling of their bathroom from the loft above, they allegedly shot perverted footage of naked young visitors while they bathed, it was alleged.

Foxall, a former dinner lady, of Sadlers Road, Brownhills has denied ten charges of making indecent still photos of minors, and one of possessing 147 indecent images of children.

Philip Bradley, prosecuting, said she welcomed children she knew to the house and ushered them into the cameras view.

Mr Foxall, aged 50, was a community worker who ran a local canoe club for teenagers. He committed suicide five days after being arrested last August.

The pair were liked and trusted by youngsters in the area, but had acted as a team in the crimes, Mr Bradley alleged.

On a video shown to the jury, Mrs Foxall was heard saying they want to go in together, apparently to her husband in the loft, as two girls got ready to climb into the bath. One was later seen playing with a sex aid which had been left close to the bath.
