Woman facing jail for making child porn
31 Jul 2009A teaching assistant will be sentenced today for helping her husband to secretly film young girls as they bathed at their home.
Rosemary Foxall was told earlier this month that a jail sentence was "inevitable" after a jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court found her guilty following a two-week trial of 10 charges of making child pornography.
The 49-year-old, who was also convicted of a charge of possessing indecent photographs of children, had denied knowing that her husband Martin had covertly recorded the girls following pool parties at their marital home in Brownhills, West Midlands.
Her victims, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, were filmed through a spy hole above a bath and by a camera hidden under a pile of clothes in a bedroom.
The trial heard that Foxall prepared baths for the girls while her husband, who has since committed suicide, secretly filmed them over an eight-year period.
She was arrested after videos filmed by her husband were found by police after a fire at their home in July 2008.
During the trial, jurors heard that girls were regularly welcomed to the couple's home to swim or play on their waterslide.
Foxall will be sentenced by Judge Nicholas Webb at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
