A showjumper offered to pay £50,000 in hush money to an underage girl he targeted for a threesome with a female rider, a court heard.
Guy Simmonds, 37, and Lauren Jarvis, 26, were last night facing the possibility of jail after plotting the sex session despite knowing the girl was under 16 – and the pair then agreed a pact of silence.
Simmonds, a showjumper and stables boss, plotted to pay the teenager's family to stay silent about what had happened.
But he and Jarvis were yesterday found guilty of sexual activity with a child.
A court heard the pair had 'no doubt at all' that the schoolgirl was under 16 before the threesome and vowed to keep it secret.
