Ex-head called girl Little Sex Toy – court

A FORMER high school head teacher accused of abusing children called one girl “his little sex toy,” a court heard.

Neil Foden, below, allegedly told the girl he was in an “awful” sexless marriage and with her, he had never felt this way before, Mold Crown Court was told.

The 66-yearold, accused of sexual offences against five children, has denied any wrongdoing.

None of the complainants can be identified.

The jury yesterday watched a recorded police interview of one complainant, Child E, as she was questioned by detectives about nicknames.

“He is my Mr Perfect. Mr P,” she said.

The detective said, “What did he call you?”

Girl E replied, “ST. Little ST – ‘Sex Toy’. His little sex toy.”

The court has heard Foden described as a “firm and almost autocratic” school leader.

Girl E said they contacted each other using social media messages, Foden using codewords, referring to their secret sexual activities as “therapy” and alerting her to his wife’s presence, using the code-word, “compost”.

She said sexual contact first began when she was under 16, after meeting up with the defendant in his BMW car, which had personalised number plates.

Girl E said she would catch a train and Foden would meet her at the station and they would drive around, stopping in secluded laybys and remote country lanes.

“He was constantly looking for new places,” Girl E said, “Better places. He spent a lot of time looking at maps.

“He just gradually added more things in. We did sexual things. It progressed quickly. I guess he got braver. There was a lot of things I wasn’t comfortable with.”

Girl E said Foden would also book them hotel rooms to have sex. Girl E said Foden told her his home life and relationship with his wife were “awful” and they had not had a sexual relationship for years.

The defendant, of Old Colwyn, Conwy, denies 20 sexual offences involving five children.

All the alleged offences are said to have occurred over a four-year period.

The trial continues next week.
