An escort who accepted £70,000 in gifts and cash from an elderly business tycoon she called her ''Sugar Daddy'' has been spared jail despite her past history of pulling off outrageous stings.

 

Tanya Rowe, 42, was charged after she was given a £7,850 Rolex watch and a new car for her son when she met the wealthy 83-year old retired entrepreneur in a swanky Italian restaurant.

 

Initially Rowe falsely claimed she was a manager for Cartiers jewellers but whenever they subsequently met up she took presents and £300 a time cash handouts from him. She was accused of duping the pensioner after a suspicious friend of his contacted Cartier.

 

At Chester Crown Court, Rowe who was charged under the more exotic name Mia Cavalli was cleared of defrauding the OAP but admitted taking money and gifts from him and pleaded guilty to a separate charge of possessing faked Cartier payslips which enabled her to rent out a £250,000 apartment in the city.

 

On Monday she appeared for sentencing for the payslips fraud via video link from her bedroom after saying she was too ill to attend court and had mental health issues. She wept as she was sentenced to 15 months jail suspended for 18 months and ordered to complete 20 days of rehabilitation activity requirements after promising she would ''go straight.''

 

 

The businessman who cannot be named, denied an affair, claimed he had no ideas she was an escort and insisted he had leant Rowe the money expecting to be paid back.

 

Text messages emerged during the trial one in which Rowe told him: ''Darling I might run into you tonight and show you how happy I am x - whilst wearing my new watch lol. You excited?", the pensioner wrote: "I O Yes.''

 

He was also said to have purchased a gold sex aide for his young lover, bought DVDs from the Nice 'n' Naughty adult boutique in Chester, and told her to wear "loose bra, no knickers" when meeting for a meal in the city.

 

In another exchange of messages ahead of a night out at ahe texted: "Can we have some fun at the table" to which she responded: "No...you will wait you get home." In another message she talked of being a ''kept mistress'' and he said: "God I enjoyed last night, can we do it again soon?"

 

Rowe who grew up on a council estate in Tottenham, North London had previously served a five year, three months stretch over a crime spree in which she filched £61,000 from victims by posing an Italian heiress waiting to inherit £30 million, a top barrister, a Wonderbra model and a terminally ill cancer sufferer.

 

Her bogus CV and forged documents suggested that she had an account with the Queen’s bank, Coutts & Co. She wore expensive clothes, always travelled by taxi, and made a show of eating in restaurants most evenings. She had even claimed to be an interior design guru, brought in to spruce up celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant The Fat Duck in Bray, Berks.

 

During her criminal career, Rowe a convicted drug smuggler also persuaded a leading woman’s magazine to run a feature describing her battle with cancer and the ''sad toll'' on her relationship.

 

Past victims included property landlords, a waitress who lost her £5,000 savings and big companies, including estate agents Hamptons International and Savills and a wealth management firm in Cheltenham.

She got the rich to part with more cash than the taxman. Maybe they could use her to make corporations actually pay their taxes.
