| He said the couple had offered their victims, who cannot be identified, incentives such as toys, discos and swimming pools with water slides to come to their home which the girls found "impossible to resist." | |
| They were then filmed through a spy hole above a bath and by a camera hidden under a pile of clothes in a bedroom. | |

| Judge Webb, speaking before sentencing at Wolverhampton Crown Court, said pornography and sex aids were also left "lying about" for the children to see, and that although the secret films were recorded on to VHS tape and had probably not been distributed, the victims could never be sure the footage would not be circulated on the internet in future. |
