Wife guilty of helping film girls

A teaching assistant has been convicted of helping her husband film young girls at their home using hidden cameras.

Rosemary Foxall, 49, from Brownhills in the West Midlands, denied 10 charges of making and possessing indecent images at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

Mrs Foxall prepared baths for the girls while her husband, Martin Foxall, secretly filmed them, jurors were told.

He killed himself shortly after he was questioned by the police. She will be sentenced on 31 July.

'Controlling husband'

Judge Nicholas Webb told Foxall, from Sadler Road, that a jail sentence was inevitable.

The girls were secretly filmed over an eight-year period after swimming pool parties at the couple's home, the court heard.

Foxall was arrested after videos filmed by her husband were found by police following a fire at their home in July 2008.

In a police video interview played to the court, one victim said how Martin Foxall would go into the loft while she got changed in the couple's bedroom.

She said: "When we were in the bedroom you could hear him moving around."

Mrs Foxhall had told police officers her husband was "controlling".
