Susan Smith, a former Labour councillor, along with her Transvestite Lover Raped a 'terrified' 15 year-old girl in 3-in-a-bed sex sessions over a period of three weeks.

Smith, Labour Councillor for St Martins Ward and Lambeth Council, London, admitted the crimes which were commited at her lovers flat.

At Southwark Crown Court Judge Gerald Butler QC told Smith, who was convicted of five offences of indecently assaulting the girl, that he had no doubt she had been responsible for bringing the threesome together.

The court heard that Smith, who once served on Lambeth's Social Services Committee, missed council meetings to take part in the sex sessions.

The girl had been unhappy at home and moved to Lineker's flat in Waterloo, south London, for three weeks in July 1991. Smith would indecently assault her first, saying she was 'getting her ready for Ron'. She had been a virgin when she moved to the flat, and was terrified throughout her ordeal.

Smith, 33 at the time, the former member for St Martins ward in the London borough of Lambeth, was sentenced to a total of 18 months in prison. Ronald Lineker, Smiths lover, was jailed for 3 years after being convicted of two charges of indecent assault, child abduction and six counts of unlawful sexual intercourse.
