Southampton woman, 24, accused of sexual activity with a child

Clair Winkworth
A GIRL lost count of the number of sex acts a boy pal performed on a Southampton woman during a sleepover at her flat, a Court heard.
She admitted it may not have been the 20 times she initially told police in interview but that it was nearer 15.
The girl was being quizzed over allegations Clair Winkworth, 24, played Truth or Dare and “sex dice” games with four children at her Redbridge Towers flat in Southampton and that she had allowed two young boys to commit sex acts with her.
During cross examination Winkworth’s defence barrister Michelle Clarke questioned the girl over her claim 20 sex acts took place with one of the boys.
The girl admitted: “It might have been a few less, it’s hard to remember. But it was a lot.”
She later told jurors at Southampton Crown Court she had “exaggerated” but it was “possibly 15” times.
Miss Clarke also put to the girl that Winkworth had not drunk alcohol during the sleepover.
But the girl insisted: “She did. She drank neat vodka. She gave us Smirnoff Ice.”
Miss Clarke suggested Winkworth had not performed lap dances for the two boys which the youngsters have claimed left them sexually aroused.
“The most that went on that evening was some fun, silly dancing that you all took part in together,” Miss Clarke said.
The girl insisted the lap dances did happen, adding Winkworth “showed us how to do it. But we didn’t want to do it”.
The girl also admitted she paid for a Valentine’s Day card and a thong for one of the boys to give to Winkworth.
Miss Clarke said Winkworth did not put the card, which read “I want to see you wearing this”, on display.
The girl insisted Winkworth did not hide the card and showed it to the mother of one of the boys.
Winkworth denies seven charges of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, one charge each of sexual activity with a child and one of indecent assault.
Proceeding.
