Dominatrix: Pervert had taste for nettles
Asron tries to flee the photographers at Oxford Crown Court
Asron tries to flee the photographers at Oxford Crown Court

A dominatrix has told how shamed driving instructor David Aston talked of his taste for underage girls as she whipped his private parts with stinging nettles.

Dominatrix Annie Jones, 51, said she first met Aston around 10 years ago when he employed her sexual domination services.

She said: "I could tell he was strange from the start.

"He was only about 21, but he wanted me to wrap stinging nettles around his groin and also to punch and kick him.

"He used to talk about liking very young girls, but I didn't think he was doing actually doing anything with them.

"I will tell police if I think someone is doing is something illegal.

"Now I know what he was doing, I wish I'd done more."

Mrs Jones said she last spoke to Aston around six months ago.

But appears more relaxed later
But appears more relaxed later

She said: "He was going to come and see me again, but then I didn't hear from him - I thought he must have been getting his pleasures elsewhere.

"I was really shocked to hear what he had been doing with young girls, but in some ways it doesn't surprise me because he was so strange.

"He should go to jail for a long time."

And yet the internet is full of legal **** sites feeding incest fantasies and old men having it away with girls who look decidedly underage but aren't (files on record), school uniform fetishes etc.

On the one hand society is w----g itself silly over such fantasies and on the other banging people up for making these fantasies real.

Its rather perverse and twisted.

yes people may have strange fetishes like that there are many worse one than that. he is allowed to explore what turns him on but i think the whole context with being interested in young girls is a bit over the top. girls as young as 12 are dressing themselves up trying to appeal to an older age group. people need to look at other sides as well girls will try and be slags alot of them will go out drinking and smoking and will have sex will anyone. they should be better educated and their parents should bring them up to know that selling your self like that is digusting the parents should be ashamed that their children are acting in this way.

this is just aload of gossip i bet its just a way for someone to make some money and to make mr aston seem nasty. why would you bring this up after the trail? reason cuz its all lies, all that info was in the papers anyway. why does people not see both sides girls are more likely to sell themselves short by lookinh like slags and sleeping with any man they meet its not lies its the truth teenagers today hve no respect for themselves. sex is drummed into their heads and press from friends make them like this.
the parents should be ashamed that their children behave in this way as they are as much to blame. they arent victims they wanted to go through with this and they must pay their concequences .

I totally agree, but look at the kind of lifestyles celebrities are busy promoting via the media.

If kids don't have role models then they are going to imitate their direct surroundings.

But who is society throwing up? Promiscuous junkies who flaunt the law as they see fit and do nothing except get shitfaced and earn megabucks.

Is it really any wonder some kids behave like **** if that is what the adults around them are behaving like?

Some arsehole on here was against banging up some drug addicted wretch who was selling Class a drugs because they had kids of 18 months and 9 years old. If that kind of behaviour is tolerated, then people have no right to complain if kids imitate their elders.

i totallly agree that Mr Aston is a sicko and a predator, but i think it also needs to be taken in to account that these girls were, at the time willing to go through with this. as has already been ssaid there is a problem with the youth of today, whether you want to blame the parents, or press or whomever, the problems are still there. Mr aston is a prime case of someone who has been able to fulfill his sick fantasies as the youths were willing, this needs to be addressed almost as strongly as the case itself

Justice Hall never sentences Paedophiles to a custodial.

I can only assume Justice Hall does not consider the defendant to be a Paedophile,at least not one cast from his own mould.

If this case teaches us anything, it's that the Internet is a very dangerous place if not used correctly and safely.

I would urge all parents of children under 16 to block these 'chat room' sites and have strict parental controls in their Internet settings so that this sort of thing will never happen again!
Posted by: the parent on 4:03pm Sat 17 May 08
everyone is entitled to an opinion, and i respect that, but before you judge us as parents, the fact of this are, my daughter got herself into a situation that was beyond her, you would prejudge her and be stereotypical of your opinion of all teenager girls, can you honestly say that had the girls been 16, it would have been ok for him to do this, my daughter and her friend went along with no intention of getting involved in anything her friend was doing, she was made to do this horrible act on him, before he would allow the girls to be taken home, she was not one to be given money or alcohol, she was scared and just wanted to come home..for a 30 year old man to prey on young girls as he
did, and will do again given the opportunity, is disgusting, the girls played a part in this i don't disagree, but they put there hands up to that and faced the consequences of their actions..that pervert couldn't even do that, he lied from day one about what he did, to get himself off the hook..he derserves everything coming his way.you can blame the girls, the parents, the media..whoever..but it comes back to the point, he preys on young girls, he knew they were underage and he didn't walk away, he went back for more knowing that..
Posted by: oxford on 4:22pm Sat 17 May 08
there is no way you can prove that he knew they were under 16 your the parent you know what age your child is but if you didnt you may not no how old they are . i believe that he wouldnt of forced them into doing anything that they did not want to do.
there where more than 1 girl with him at the time they could of easily legged it if they wanted but they chose to meet a 2nd time! this shows that they wanted to do it . i agree it was wrong but you dont know what was going through his head at the time he could of been going through a tough time and did a stupid thing that he has been paying for for the last 2 years. he has a family to support and they must be hurt too. i think he has suffered enough and that a prision sentence is unfair i hope you can see this if he was dangerous why would the police let him off why didnt they put him in prison straight away? why was he still able to teach ? he isnt dangerous people make stupid mistakes in their life and i feel that he should be given a 2nd chance threats and anger is a childish way to handle the situation it make you seem as bad as the case. but i think you should understand that your child decided to do this she had the time to say no when she was chatting to him by the net and before they met or after the first time they met. you need to seriously think about this . your child is to blame as well she isnt stupid. i think the judge should of given something to the girls as well they were drinking and smoking which is illegal. you must of known your child was doing this .

Alan Page got worked up again:

Some arsehole on here was against banging up some drug addicted wretch who was selling Class a drugs because they had kids of 18 months and 9 years old. If that kind of behaviour is tolerated, then people have no right to complain if kids imitate their elders.

Some ar*hole on here frequently compares grown adults CHOOSING to take recreational drugs to adults abusing vulnerable children.

The same ars*ole on here frequentlky states that taking 'professionally posed' (as opposed to seedy amateur????) photos of children is harmless, and waffles on about renaissance art to justify it.

Unbelievably, the same ar*hole thinks that a mother who has been caught dealing drugs, has been tried according to the law of the land, placed under strict supervison and told that she will be jailed INSTANTLY if she reoffends shoud be locked up in one of our over-crowed prisons and her children separated from theior mother and their siblings and placed into local authority care.

Fortunately, this ar*hole doesn't live in Oxford and doesn't know what the f*ck he's on about , eh Alan?

i will not defend myself as a parent, i know the facts surrounding the case, and how this came about..my daughter was not an instigator in this happening,she went along once, not both times, but being loyal to her friends, as you are at that age, got mixed up in something that she didn't know was going to happen until she got there..as for legging it, where to, pray tell, he took them out of town, to a secluded area..the only thing going through his head at that time, was sexual..not his family, his children, his wife, who knew nothing of this, not his parents, his job, his friends, this was about him getting sexual gratification..he lied from the offset and tried to cover his tracks taking no responsibility, the girls admitted what they did and saw it through to the end, despite knowing they would get a hard time about it...he derserves to get punished.

Isn't all the media interest in this just an indication of how purile and sex-obsessed society has become. Mr Aston is a victim of this just as the girls are. We will never know the girls identity so we cannot judge if he knew they were under-age. Neither do we know how old they said they were. It seems he is getting such severe treatment because of his rather bizarre tastes. Let those who have never had an unusual sexual fantasy throw the first stone. All those sun readers condemn people like mr aston, then enjoy looking at pictures of girls barely over the legal age. He was a fool to do this but doesn't deserve to go to jail for it.

Well Dannyboy your the one who believes that drug addicted dealers make perfect role models arent you? And that having crack and all that other crap around the place will have no impact on a child's view of the world.

So again,Dan, what social harm is created by somebody downloaded professionally posed pictures of naked children? None whatsoever. They might just as well be downloading Carravaggio paintings for all the harm it causes.

What do drug dealers and paedophiles have in common? They are both predatory scum and both have a body of pseudoscientific evidence used to claim their influence as harmless.

Both parties blame prohibition for the evils, both blame media hysteria instead of taking responsibility for their actions.

Your the one who condones drug dealing, your the one saying that police resources could be better spent elsewhere than rounding up criminals.

Even here, instead of addressing the point I made about celebrities presenting appalling role models by resembling walking Medicine cabinets you would rather take cheap shots at me than face up to the stupidity and vacuity of your position or the question of adult responsibilty to kids in general.

To put the record straight:
"Well, I suppose putting her kids into care at (our) vast expense wouldn't have helped anybody and I imagine she'll be effectively finished as a drug dealer now and the 150 hours unpaid work may go some small way towards the woman making a positive contribution to the society that (presumably) has paid for her to have three children and sell her neighbours drugs."

I opposed her being seperated from her kids because it would cost me money to do so.In terms of my best interests it is better for kids to grow up being nurtered by drug dealing smackheads than placed in the care of people who may act as suitable role models whilst the mother got herself clean and found proper work to do.

It is more cost effective for children to be neglected by smackheads (sorry "recreational drug" users)than for them to have a fair and adequate upbringing.

Of course my support for drug consumption is part of the problem here. But, as Kinsey observed in regards to kiddyfiddling, this woman is one of a tiny minority of individuals who have fallen foul of drugs.

As in the Kinsey findings,for the vast majority, it is simply harmless fun.

Should women and especially young girls be banned from whipping gentlemen about the privy parts with nettles?

Seems to me a new law could solve the problem.

I surpose the law could also ban young boys from whipping older womens paps with the same.

well after reading the above comments i would just like to say thankyou for being so quick to judge me over this case.. yes it was wrong what happened and yes i admit that everyone has a part to play in this, but what you need to realise is that not all of us were on the chatroom me being one of them, and at that age you always tend to give in to peer pressure because if your mates were doing something then you wouldnt want to be left out. I know this will probably cause a reaction but how this story has been portrayed is exactly how it is, and to the person above for you to call me a slag when you don't even know me is just the sterotypical attitude i would expect from a 12 year old but i guess society is still shallow as what it has always been, yes you will never find out who i am but still that means you have no right to judge me, i know people are entitled to their opinions and i respect that but some of you are going a bit too far with what you are saying. I cannot change the past as much as i would want to so i hope your family NEVER has to go through what my family has for the past two years i wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy, i hope you can realise it.
Posted by: Mr Ison, England on 11:32pm Sun 18 May 08
I am all for such a law,how to push it into the nations awareness presents a problem,but if parliament can foist foreign policies upon those they tax then the Stinging Nettle law should not pose a significant problem.

Maybe they could liase with BBC scriptwriters as they do now.

what they hell is arson got to do with this ppl shud have consideration for other peoples feelings and their family.
mr aston is a nice and caring man he would never do this on purpose its a mistake that he has made everyone makes mistakes but in different ways and as the girl sed they have all played a part in this so both sides are guilty but this case is out of hand especially by the press they love anything like this and blow it all out of perspective.
my feelings are with mr aston and his family.
Posted by: former pupil on 9:24pm Mon 19 May 08
Mr Aston is a very kind and helpful man, he is a great driving instructor and its a great shame he has lost his job over something that silly.
The girls knew what they were getting into if not the first time but certanly the second time. If they didnt want to carry on when they first met him then why didnt they just kick and run. The young girls these days want to be all grown up but when it comes down to it they are just little girls, so watch out boys you could be the next victim.

being a girl myself, not much older than the girls involved in this case i know just how easily girls can manipulate situations to get themselves out of trouble or to get themselves out of a situation which they have regretted doing, i have been through this myself with a friend so i know why these girls have said what they have said. but what they have done is seriously wrong, they agreed to participate and they too are too blame. they have ruined a very kind mans life, he is a very nice man and is very kind and caring.
