A LAD lured into sex in the woods with BBC pervs Julie and Tony Wadsworth said last night: “People must think it’s every schoolboy’s dream. It wasn’t.”

Darren Cunningham, just 14 at the time, waived his anonymity to tell how the couple groomed him and a pal.

On Friday the Wadsworths were both jailed for five years after being convicted of indecent assaults on six boys, one aged 11, from 1992 to 1999, and of outraging decency.

Some victims told the court Mrs Wadsworth, now 60, had often dressed in a “flasher’s mac” trench coat, high heels, stockings and suspenders near their then home, Knob Hall in Atherstone, Warks.

Her radio presenter hubby, 69, pleasured himself and took photos while watching her have sex with the boys.

Darren, now a 39-year-old dad of three and stepdad to three more, showed The Sun on Sunday a photo of himself as a 14-year-old schoolboy.

He said: “The Wadsworths told police and the court I was 17 maybe even 18 when it happened. But anyone can see I’m just a kid in that picture.

“I had just started puberty but was still a virgin. The only women I had seen even partly-clothed was my auntie at swimming.”

Darren revealed the brazen Wadsworths even called at his home — with Julie promising full sex if he would return to the woods.

Recalling the first time he saw her, he said: “One Saturday morning while we were out playing on our bikes me and my mates were ­confronted with a woman old enough to be our mother running through the woods with no knickers on asking us if we wanted to play and have sex with her.

“People must think it’s every schoolboy’s dream but it wasn’t right.

“We were gobsmacked, and to make it even more weird her husband was egging her on. We tried to treat it all as banter and a big joke.

“But looking back they knew we were schoolboys and what they did was wrong.”

He and a friend had spotted the couple in a park in September 1992.

Darren said: “A lad on his bike rode past and said we should have a look at the ‘streaker with her t*ts out’ in the next clearing.

“We thought it was a joke but there she was with a scruffy-looking bloke.

“We were staring at her but trying to seem not to look.

“I’d seen some dirty books and she looked like something out of one of them.

“They asked us if there was anywhere we could ‘have a play’ and we walked about a mile with them to the Outwoods near the golf course.

“Me and my mate were trembling with excitement and didn’t know what to expect. Then she told us we could do it one at a time.

“My mate went behind the bush with her first but was back within minutes saying he was scared because the husband had a camera and he thought he was taking photos.

“Then I heard her shout it was my turn. I was nervous but she called me over next and she was sitting down naked with the mac open.”

Before the sex session started Darren said Mrs Wadsworth — who never gave her name — insisted her husband go for a walk because his camera was “making the boys jittery”.

She told Darren to touch her intimately before taking down his trousers to perform a sex act on him.

He added: “It was the first time in my life, and I can’t say it wasn’t pleasant.

“She was totally in control. She was giggling as she did it and I wasn’t looking around at what was going on.

“But I suddenly looked up and saw him in the bushes taking photos. I asked her what he was doing and she just told me to ignore him.”

Darren said the sight of the camera “scared him to bits” and he vowed never to return to the woods.

He added: “I was a nervous wreck for ages, thinking the couple had photos and would show them to my parents or teachers.

“I was a 14-year-old kid and knew my mum, who was very strict, would kill me if she found out. I was waiting for ages for a knock at the door from the police.

“I know my mates kept going to the woods to have sex with her but I didn’t.

“But my pals said the woman had been asking for me specially. She told them to tell me she would have full sex with me if I went back.

“I’d made up my mind to forget it had happened.

“But one Saturday morning I almost fainted when I looked out of my bedroom window and they were standing by the front gate.

“I was terrified my mother would see them and my secret would be exposed.

“The woman beckoned me out and I asked what they wanted.

“She seemed desperate for sex and asked me to go to the Outwoods with me there and then. She promised me I could have my first shag. My head was spinning but I told them I was too scared and to leave.”

The confrontation in 1992 was the last time Darren saw the couple, before facing them at their trial.

He said: “I heard on the news a married couple had been arrested for abusing boys in the Outwoods in Atherstone.

“When I checked, the reports said it was in 1996.

“I knew it had to be them but I was 18 in 1996 and was certain I was only 14 when they had abused me.

“I couldn’t let it rest and did some detective work. The mum of the lad who went with me to the woods had died two weeks after we had seen the ‘streaker woman’ as we called her.

“I went to the graveyard and saw on his mum’s headstone she had died in 1992.

“I knew then the pair had assaulted me too and I went to police.”

Darren, who now works as a plumber, added: “I still can’t take in what thrill-seekers they were.

“They were literally touring the area where they lived to have sex with young boys.

“And to cap it all they were local celebrities always posing in the papers. They could have been found out at any time.

“But I think that was how they got their kicks.

“There was always the risk of being caught but they thought it wouldn’t happen because they were preying on kids like me.”

The Wadsworths, of Broughton Astley, Leics, were put on the sex offenders register for life when sentenced at Warwick crown court.

Judge Andrew Lockhart QC said the “grave” offences had caused emotional damage to all the victims.

Darren added: “They are nasty people and thoroughly deserve jail. At 14 we thought it was all a bit of a joke having a woman twice our age taking our trousers down. But in today’s language they were grooming us for sex.

“You cannot have people like that wandering round preying on impressionable kids like they did.

“They probably thought they’d got away with it after all the years but us kids finally got justice.”
