A mother-of-three, 40, has revealed how strangers turned up at her house for sex, after her boyfriend secretly filmed her naked and uploaded the footage with her address to porn sites.
Sharon Thompson, 40, had no idea that her then partner, Darren Rowe, 49, had hidden cameras and used her picture for dirty conversations – even while she was pregnant.
Rowe, a builder, was eventually caught when police traced the IP addresses from the sex website ads to a house where Darren had been doing building work.
The couple (pictured) met in 2015 before having a baby girl the following year. Sharon said they were ‘really happy’ until March 2017, when they received an unexpected visit from a stranger. Within the next month, she gave birth and they had 12 men visit within the space of ten hours – with one admitting ‘he’d come to have sex’ with Sharon
In October 2019, Rowe, of Rowley Regis, Birmingham, pleaded guilty to two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
He received a two-year suspended sentence.
And now, Sharon is sharing her story for the first time.
Mother-of-three Sharon, said: ‘I thought I was in a loving relationship, but I was actually living with a pervert.’

While she admits having ‘no idea’ why he did it, the catering assistant is sure he is a ‘deviant sexual predator that should be behind bars’.
Sharon’s brother met Rowe at secondary school and the two became friends.
They met in August 2015 after Rowe asked her out on Facebook.
She was a single mother with two children and ‘ready to meet someone again’ – and the pair became ‘inseparable’ after their first date.

Four months later, she introduced Rowe to her children and after three weeks, he moved into her home.
In the following year, the couple were ‘really happy’ as she fell pregnant with a baby girl.
But in March 2017, Sharon received an unexpected visit from a stranger who stood at her door step ‘in silence while staring at [her] swollen belly’.
He looked ‘really confused’ and ‘quickly apologised’ before telling her that he got the wrong address and running off.
The couple admitted to not thinking anything of the visit.
A month later, Sharon gave birth to the couple’s daughter.
After a few weeks, 12 men showed up within the space of 10 hours and left the new mother ‘terrified’.
While they ran off after seeing her holding a baby, Sharon begged the 13th man to explain why he was there.
‘The man said he’d come to have sex with me because I’d given him my name and address on a sex website.
‘My body froze, I had no idea what he was talking about.’
She called the police who told her to look the doors and leave it to them.
‘I was hysterical but Darren did his best to comfort me.’
Over the next six months, Sharon received hundreds of messages every day from strangers on Facebook.
They allegedly said ‘hey Sharon! We’ve been talking on FabSwingers’ and ‘Hi sexy, let me see more dirty naked photos’ while hundreds of men continued to show up at the house.
The new mother was left ‘crying [her] eyes out every day’ and felt ‘desperate to know who was behind it’ as she feared her children’s safety.
In November 2017, police officers delivered some shocking news that the person responsible was her husband.
Rowe was arrested and after the police left, Sharon frantically searched Rowe’s van.
She discovered six mobile phones hidden underneath his car seat and handed them to police.

The mother-of-three’s picture and name were used for dirty conversations on Snapchat and WhatsApp. Videos of the catering assistant dating back to a year ago were found on his various mobile devices
Officers showed her naked photos and videos dating back and entire year.
Sharon added: ‘Some were of me drying my hair after a shower, others were me naked in our bedroom after I’d put my daughter to sleep.’
The clips had been uploaded to sex and swinger websites as well as Sharon’s name and picture used for dirty conversations on Snapchat and WhatsApp.
These strangers were then sent to the couple’s home.
Rowe received a two-year suspended sentence at Wolverhampton Crown Court in October, 2019
Sharon was ‘horrified’ when she discovered he wasn’t going to jail and felt angered by people calling the case ‘revenge porn’.
‘I was in a loving, committed relationship when this happened. I also had no idea I was being recorded.
‘My poor daughter is going to have to learn what her father did one day.’
