Summary: London Sex Case (Press, 12 July 1973)
On 11 July 1973, the City of London Magistrate's Court heard shocking testimony regarding a scandal involving the broadcasting industry. A woman known as “Miss B” recounted an incident where she and five other women were involved in a 24-hour sex orgy facilitated by Janie Jones, a 34-year-old singer and model. The court was informed that the orgy took place in a luxury hotel in London and featured various sexual acts, including lesbian performances and intercourse with one of the men present. Janie Jones is facing several serious accusations, including systematically offering sexual favours to promote pop records within broadcasting time slots. As the proceedings unfolded, “Miss B” claimed that she had attended multiple such parties aimed at benefiting individuals associated with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Additionally, Jones faces other charges, such as attempting to influence witnesses, managing prostitution activities, and allegedly soliciting someone to murder her former husband, songwriter John Christian-Dee, who is also facing charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice. Alongside her, Eric Gilbert, a 42-year-old former court official, is also before the court in connection to the case. During her testimony, “Miss B” explained that she was initially drawn into this “sex-entertainment routine” by Jones, who promised it would assist her in gaining a job in television. However, “Miss B” eventually lost faith in Jones’s assurances, describing them as implausible. She mentioned that her typical payment for participating in these activities was £5 per occasion. When discussing Gilbert's involvement, she stated that he primarily took care of domestic responsibilities, including making tea and overseeing the household. The case is ongoing as the court continues to delve into the serious allegations raised by “Miss B” and the implications for those involved in this scandalous affair in the broadcasting sector.
