The trial continues of a British model accused of killing her two young daughters because they allegedly posed an obstacle to her X-rated lifestyle.

On Tuesday, the court heard details about the kind of relationship the accused, Louise Porton, 23, shared with the victims, 3-year-old Lexi Draper, and 16-month-old Scarlett Vaughan, before she allegedly murdered them. A number of Porton’s acquaintances testified before the jurors, telling them how inconvenient the suspect’s daughters had become to her way of earning money by either sending explicit pictures to men or having sex with them.

“At times, her two children got in the way of her doing what she wanted when she wanted and with whom she wanted,” Prosecutor Oliver Saxby said, the Sun reported. “Putting it simply, and I hope neutrally, this wasn’t a life in which caring for her two young children – indeed, having two young children to care for – always easily fitted.”

Saxby added that on more than one occasions, the accused directly exposed her kids to her lifestyle. Referring to some of the WhatsApp messages recovered from her phone, the prosecutor said Porton made deals with men identified as "Jas" and "Jazz" to get paid in exchange for sending them explicit photos of herself. She conducted the deals while she was in the hospital with Draper.

Weeks before the deaths of her daughters, Porton allegedly contacted one of her clients, telling him, “they can have sex despite being in a shared room with both children present if they’re quiet”. Similarly, she confided in her sister about an instance when she engaged in sexual intercourse with a man called "simple Simon" in a van while her children slept.

“Put aside what you think about what she’s doing. It is the context in which she’s doing it which is of relevance to this case,” Saxby said.

On Jan. 14, 2018 – the day before Draper was found dead in Porton’s home – the accused allegedly searched on the internet “for how long after drowning can someone be resuscitated?” The 3-year-old’s autopsy report put her cause of death as obstruction of the airways. The victim’s mother was found “laughing and joking” and “unnaturally detached” in the days following her death.

Eighteen days after her elder daughter died, the suspect called the emergency helpline number, reporting that Vaughan was unresponsive with flu. Medical experts failed to find any natural cause of death.

Leigh-Anne Bradley, Porton’s former landlady, said she was often tasked with taking care of her tenant’s daughters, at times for the entire day. “It was very rare that Louise would ever have the children,” she said.

One of the accused’s friends told the court that the girls became a "burden" to Porton, keeping her from “doing what she wanted" and as a result, she "would do whatever she could" to not be around her kids.

Porton denied the accusations against her.
