Anthony Bayliss, 77, went on trial at Birmingham Crown Court this week accused of repeatedly raping a 14 year-old girl in the s and indecently assaulting a year-old.
Paul Doyle, 64, was said to have run escorting agencies which included subjecting the same two 'vulnerable' females to sexual 'initiations' with him. The court was told Bayliss picked prostitutes up from Hagley Road in Birmingham in his blue Rolls Royce and took them back to his 'massive' white house in Wolverhampton to have sex with.
Opening the case on Wednesday, February 5, prosecutor Jennifer Josephs summarised the defendants' police interviews. Starting with Bayliss she said: "He denied having ever met either girl before. He confirmed he used escort services in the late s following a number of issues in his life. He described his own sexual interests as 'vanilla'. Bayliss, who has been accused of only wanting the 'youngest and skinniest' girls, said in his interview he typically paid for women in their 20s, no older than 30 and sometimes as young as 18 but never underage.
Ms Josephs said: "He said he was keen to avoid underage girls. He said there wasn't even a spark of recognition. He said he wouldn't have had sexual relations with them as he didn't think they looked attractive. The court heard Bayliss denied telling girls he worked in television but could not explain how his landline phone number at the time ended up in the records of the complainants' social workers.
