A man casually told his wife he had been having sex with a teenage girl - and she alerted police, a court heard. Paul Robinson's wife was said to have been 'horrified' at his confession, which he disclosed 'as if it was quite normal', a judge was told.

Robinson, a former care worker, then went on to attempt to blame his victim by maintaining that he he had been 'manipulated' into his vile actions.
