A horse-riding instructor who had a threesome with an underage girl has been jailed for five years while his showjumper girlfriend who also took part has avoided prison. Guy Simmonds, 37, from Monmouthshire, had sexual intercourse with his partner, Lauren Jarvis, 26, and the 15-year-old girl in January last year. Jarvis willingly took part and touched the victim sexually, and afterwards the pair agreed to keep quiet about it.
Then why on earth was she shown such leniency?
Jarvis was handed a 12-month prison sentence suspended for a year and ordered to complete 15 days of rehabilitation work. She was also placed on the sexual offenders register for 10 years and given a restraining order of five years.
She must have had a solid defence!
Julia Cox, representing Jarvis, said pre-sentence reports had identified her client as being susceptible to 'suggestibility and pressure' and due to her low intelligence was incapable of living on her own.
Oh, or not!
'Without that influence and direction as far as Lauren Jarvis is concerned, that offending would not have happened,' she said. 'The pre-sentence report author identifies the vulnerabilities of Lauren Jarvis to manipulation by others and exploitation.
Ah yes, without the man she wouldn’t have been steered wrong!
Miss Cox urged the court to impose a suspended sentence, adding: 'There will be a detrimental impact upon her family, particularly her mother.'
Well, so what? Doesn’t Guy also have a mother?
