'Pimp' and kids' author jailed over prostitution of underage girls in 90s

VULNERABLE VICTIMS WERE IN CARE SYSTEM

- CARL JACKSON

TWO men have been jailed over the prostitution of underage girls from care homes in Birmingham during the 1990s.

Paul Doyle, 65, ran escorting and so-called kissogram agencies in the city pimping out young girls.

He also 'tested them out himself' in depraved sexual initiations.

Anthony Bayliss, 78, was a 'rich customer' who liked 'young and skinny' girls preferably virgins to have sex with.

The 'flashy' predator drove a Rolls Royce, had a big house in Wolverhampton and posed as a Channel 4 producer before going on to become a children's author and successful businessman.

Following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court, Doyle, of Mickleton Avenue, Sheldon, was found guilty of living off prostitution in relation to 'pimping' out a 15-year-old girl and indecently assaulting a 14-year-old girl. The latter offence would be rape by modern legislation, the judge ruled. He was sentenced to six-and-a-half years.
