Men knocked at mum’s home for sex after partner posted her address to porn site

Sharon Thompson was heartbroken when she learned why ‘hundreds of men’ kept turning up at the property.

A woman was devastated after discovering her boyfriend was uploading naked videos of her to adult websites with her address attached.

Sharon Thompson, 40, was heartbroken when police revealed her twisted partner Darren Rowe, 49, was the reason ‘hundreds of men’ were turning up at the property expecting sex.

The catering assistant, from the Midlands, said: ‘I thought I was in a loving relationship, but I was actually living with a pervert. I still have no idea why he did it.’

She met Rowe in August 2015 after he messaged her on Facebook.

They quickly became ‘inseparable’, moved in together and had a baby girl.

Two years later, in March 2017, when Sharon was eight months pregnant with their second daughter, a stranger knocked on her door.

She describes how he stared at her belly, looked ‘really confused’ and left saying he got the wrong address.

Nearly two months later a dozen men turned up at the house in the space of 10 hours.

She said: ‘This time I was terrified. They all ran off when they saw me holding the baby.

‘When the 13th man knocked, I begged him 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.’

Over the next six months, Sharon received hundreds of messages every day from strangers on Facebook, including requests for ‘dirty naked photos’.

She said: ‘I was desperate to know who was behind it. Hundreds of men continued to show up at our house as well.

‘Soon, I was scared for the safety of the kids.’

In November 2017, she was left stunned when police turned up and revealed who was responsible.

Sharon says:  ‘An officer stared at Darren and said “It was you all along”. I looked at Darren and he didn’t say anything.

‘My heart sank and I collapsed to the floor, crying hysterically – I nearly threw up.’

Rowe, a builder, was eventually caught when police traced the IP addresses from the sex website ads to a house where he had been doing building work on.

After his arrest, Sharon discovered six mobile phones hidden underneath his car seat which had been used to secretly take photos and videos after showers or in her bedroom.

The footage was uploaded to sex and swinger websites while Rowe also had ‘dirty conversations using her name and picture’ with men on Snapchat and WhatsApp, who he then directed to the house.

In October 2019, Rowe, from Birmingham, pleaded guilty to two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress at Wolverhampton Crown Court and was handed a two-year suspended sentence.

Sharon said: ‘I was horrified when I discovered he wasn’t going to jail. It angers me when people call my case “revenge porn” because there was no revenge.

‘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. The one thing I am sure of is Darren is a deviant sexual predator that should be behind bars.’
