An ex-BBC presenter is alleged to have lifted up her skirt and flashed her knickers at young boys before leading them into the woods for sex.

Julie Wadsworth, 60, is accused of having sexual encounters with one of her victims up to 15 times, between the ages of 14 and 18, after seducing him in a woodland area near a golf course.

He told Warwick Crown Court he lost his virginity to the BBC Leicester presenter in 1995.

The alleged victim, now 37, said they would romp in woodland or at her house while her husband Tony, 69, watched and performed sex acts on himself.

On one occasion the boy even engaged in a threesome with Mr and Mrs Wadsworth - having sex with her while she touched her husband, jurors were told.

But he said the couple appeared to lose interest in him in 2001 because he became 'too old' when he was aged around 20.

Giving evidence at Warwick Crown Court, the man said he tried to contact Mrs Wadsworth - known on radio as Julie Mayer - on Facebook in a bid to 'incite relations.'

He told jurors he also tried e-mailing the 'contact a presenter' section on the BBC Radio Leicester website but heard nothing back on both occasions.

He denied being obsessed with Mrs Wadsworth but admitted he fantasised about the sexual encounters when he was 'drunk and depressed'.

He said: 'I had possibly sent them Facebook requests but they weren't accepted.

'She rejected me in 2001, I was probably too old.

The boy claimed engaged in a threesome with Mr and Mrs Wadsworth - having sex with her while she touched her husband, jurors were told

'I was not wholly obsessed but would I have times where I was drunk and depressed and thought about it, yes.

'That is probably why you're not meant to have sex with underage kids because that is what it does to them.'

The man said he only realised the couple were BBC presenters when he heard them on the radio and recognised Mrs Wadsworth's voice.

He added: 'I was around 16 when I heard the radio transmission.

'I had no idea of the identity of the woman I had been seeing.

'I think it was the summer after I left school.

'They came to the place I worked.

'At (my place of work) she wanted a Christmas tree and the owner went up to her and asked if she needed help

'But she said: 'I have a got a fit young man to carry my tree out for me.'

'I saw her at (the place I worked) around six or seven times.'

The man added he attempted to contact Mrs Wadsworth through Facebook and the BBC website

He told the court he attempted to get back in touch with the couple over social media years later before he eventually went to police.

The Facebook messages were then read out to the court.

One said: 'Hiya, it has been ages.

'I still look back very fondly on the fun times xx.'

Another read: 'I hope you don't see me as a stalker or anything like that, I am a genuine guy.

'I would love to show you how much my knowledge is growing.

'It would be nice to meet again anyway.'

The man continued: 'These were the messages I sent to her before I went to the police.

'I didn't receive a message back.'

In the e-mail to Julie Wadsworth via the 'contact a presenter' website, the man wrote: 'Hi Julie, look I know it's been a while but I'd sure like to get in touch.

'If you're feeling it, you could reply via email or call me on the telephone.

'I would love to meet up. Yours fondly.'

Another alleged victim claimed she had a sexual encounter with him before saying 'go and get one of your mates'

David Hislop QC, defending Mrs Wadsworth, suggested to the man: 'There was no underage sex between you and Julie Wadsworth.'

The man replied with: 'Nonsense.'

Later on in the trial, another alleged victim claimed after a sexual encounter with Mrs Wadsworth when he was 14, he was told 'go and get one of your mates'.

The man, now 34, claimed he had an encounter in woods with her, before going over to his friends and saying: 'Who's next?'

Speaking during the trial today, he said he and his friends had been playing near woods when they were approached by an 'attractive, blonde woman' wearing a short skirt and accompanied by a man with dark hair.

He said: 'She approached us on her own, and started talking and then lifted up her skirt and said: "Do you want to play with this", and revealed her knickers.

'She led us down further to a secluded spot. I went first and we were kissing for a bit and she took some of her clothing off.

'Then we just kissed for a bit, she took some of her clothing off and I was playing with her breasts and then down below.

'Afterwards, my mates did the same from what they told me. I was 14-15 at the time. I would say they were mid-30s.'

The man, who was 14, told the court: 'She approached us on her own, and started talking and then lifted up her skirt and said: "Do you want to play with this", and revealed her knickers'

During her police interview, Mrs Wadsworth accepted touching one of the complainants - but when he was 17-years-old.

She said: 'To start with it was just touchy-feely, a fumble, but then became [a sex act] - on both our parts.

'I'd no reason to believe he was under-age, he was 17.'

She described it as 'just a bit of fun', but that it ended when her husband became suspicious - and both parties 'decided it ought to stop'.

Mrs Wadsworth said that she would never sunbathe topless, as had been alleged, because she was 'not confident in my body', but that she and Mr Wadsworth had had sex in the woods.

She added: 'We'd nip into the woods and if we heard anybody coming we'd stop - we wouldn't openly display ourselves.'

The radio presenter said: 'We just went down and had sex in the woods from time to time, it's so embarrassing.

'We like to spice up the sex life, but those boys? I don't recognise any of their names.'

The Wadsworths, from Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, deny five counts of outraging public decency which allege they engaged in sexual activity 'against a tree' in view of others between July 1992 and June 1996.

Mrs Wadsworth has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges of indecent assault, while her 69-year-old husband denies 10 counts of the same offence.
