A MOTHER has denied that she seduced two teenage boys as they helped her with her bouncy castle business.

Yvonne Renton insisted that nothing of a sexual nature happened with the youths, who were aged 15 and 14 at the time.

The 39-year-old is accused of indecently assaulting the teenagers in 2002 and intimidating one in an attempt to stop the prosecution.

The alleged victims told a jury of eight women and four men that Renton, of Tufton Road, Rainham, performed a sex act on them and then had intercourse with them.

The older boy, now a 19-year-old security officer, claimed he would have sex with Renton, then married to a night club bouncer, three or four times a week.

Both also claimed that she later told them they had made her pregnant.

The mother-of-two, who is qualified in acccountancy, said in evidence that she gave up her bouncy castle business 18 months ago.

Renton, who separated from her husband in 2003, told Maidstone Crown Court she had only been alone with the older teenager in her car once, when they had an accident.

She denied that the youth ever spent the night at her house. Her husband, she said, was "quite a large man", who worked as head doorman at Amadeus night club in Strood.

Asked if she had performed a sex act on the youth and had intercourse with him a number of times, she said: "It is not true at all. It is just ridiculous."

She added: "I didn’t have any concerns about my behaviour that might be misconstrued," she said.

When the teenager went on holiday to Spain, the other boy helped her with bouncy castles twice.

"Nothing of a sexual nature happened between him and me," she said. She denied they had sex on at least four occasions.

David Smith, defending, told her: "It is suggested effectively that you targeted these young men, you sought to exert influence over them and you had sexual relations with them."

Renton replied: "No, I didn’t."

She has denied four charges of indecent assault and one of intimidation.

The trial continues.
