Mum ‘conspired with paedophile to plan sex attack on her seven-year-old daughter and exchanged ‘let’s abuse her’ text messages’
A court heard Stuart Bailey, 54, asked the woman to "tart up" the youngster with make-up and expressed a desire to "have his way with her"
A MUM conspired with a paedophile to plot a sex attack on her seven-year-old daughter and exchanged "let's abuse her" text messages, a court heard.
In a string of sick messages and phone calls, Stuart Bailey, 54, allegedly asked the woman to "tart up" the youngster with make-up and expressed his desire to "have his way with her" - even using the letter "R" to symbolise rape.
A jury at Cardiff Crown Court heard the text messages came to light when the woman's partner suspected she was cheating and checked her phone.
In several texts to the girl's mother Bailey allegedly said: "Let me do as I please." In another he said: "What is she wearing? Is she in school uniform?"
Prosecutor Jim Davis told how the woman's partner suspected she was in contact with Bailey - and later discovered the text messages planning the sex with the young girl.
Mr Davis said the partner made a statement to police where he had suspicions that "she was cheating on me" and checked her mobile phone.
Mr Davies said: "After confronting his partner about his suspicions, she reacted angrily and told him to leave the house."

But the man told police how he refused to hand back her phone.
He said: "She was shouting at me to give her phone back and stopped me from leaving the house.
"I had to physically push her out of the way to get out."
The jury heard that he left the house with the woman's phone - and checked the messages when he arrived in work.
The court heard some of the texts read: "Let's abuse her" and "I can R her."
He described them as "horrific", and that he couldn't finish reading them as they were "too upsetting".
Bailey, of Rhydyfelin, Pontypridd, and the woman, who cannot be named, both deny with arranging and commissioning child sex offences.
The trial at Cardiff Crown Court continues.
