My ‘perfect man’ was sex pest cop
THE former partner of disgraced cop Mark Wilkie has revealed she would like to see the sex pest “locked up for life and castrated”.
Angry Lyn Cawkwell lived with the police officer in what she thought was domestic bliss for almost seven years, little realising that he spent a chunk of that time harassing a string of other females.
Crafty Wilkie got contact details of at least 20 vulnerable women from the police national computer and tormented them with explicit text messages.
When police finally blew his anonymous cover he was jailed for three years. Last week the Newport Pagnell 51-year-old tried to persuade an appeal judge to reduce his sentence – but was firmly rejected.
Said Lyn: “I couldn’t believe he thought three years was excessive for all the misery and terror he caused to those women, not to mention the misery he caused to me.”.
The 39-year-old is recovering from a nervous breakdown caused by the shock of discovering Wilkie’s antics.
“He was the perfect partner in so many ways. I thought we were happy together – we had a nice home, nice holidays. He helped around the house and he always bought me 21 red roses on Valentine’s Day.
“But now I realise he was very controlling and clever, while I was a timid little mouse.”
Wilkie deliberately chose women in vulnerable situations. Some had called out police because of domestic violence, others were teenagers who had run away from home.
Mother-of-four Lyn first after she requested police help during a “nasty split” with her then partner.
“Soon afterwards I started getting texts from somebody who called himself ‘an admirer’. To be honest, I was quite flattered. I didn’t have a clue who they were from.”
Eventually, after Lyn went on a couple of dates with Wilkie, the police officer confessed.
“I should have realised then it was odd, but I just put it out of my mind,” she said..”
The relationship broke down a year before Wilkie’s arrest.
“He met another woman in a weird way. She was selling her wedding dress through the newspaper and that was how Mark got her number.
“As far as I know they’re still together and she’s standing by him, despite everything that has happened.”
Now, with the help of trauma counselling, Lyn and her children are trying to rebuild their lives.
“I still have bad days and I don’t think I will never trust another man. As for Mark, I would like to see him locked up in prison for life and castrated as well.
“That way, he would never pester another woman.”

Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 11:42 PMRegardless of this monsters ex partners 'social life'. How dare you portray her as the bad person here! I am one of the 'victims' of this loser. I enddured up to twenty phone calls and text messages per daynight from this pervert. And might i add i am a married mum of four, NOT a victim of dometic violence as all the newspapers like to label us as. My fourteen year old picked up one of my disgusting texts from this 'man'. I also had texts telling me 'he knows where my children go to school' and numerous what he wants to do to me in details etc etc. These calls were received all day and all night. Now tell me that she deserves the flack here. The 'woman' who is stannding by him deserves this being done to her, this mans youngest victim was 14 for christ sake....use your brain before defending this sick human being!

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 05:46 PMThank you wizardofoz for speaking out about Ms Cawkwell.I think the public should know her true colours...She claims she is suffering a nervous breakdown,I dont know anyone who whilst suffering this could move try and manage a public house get thrown out of that to return to her home where she then kicked her daughter out of the family home...went on to make her story public re mark wilkie....she has not considered her children at all .Maybe if she stopped drinking and stopped posting pictures of herself on facebook draped over men drunk her children may not suffer long term mental health issues .She is a sad woman seeking attention boo hoo Ms Cawkwell and get a life .

Monday, February 20, 2012 at 07:56 PMThe world should know that Ms Cawkwell is not a "timid little mouse who cannot trust another man again", she actually cheated on her ex partner with Mark Wilkie and knew exactly what he was up to and not once did she consider her children first. she is selfish and only interested in making money, no doubt we will see her selling her story soon in one of the trashy magazines! I just hope that her children have escaped unscathed.

I wonder if we could have the thousands of benefits single victim mums in MK speyed so they cannot breed in future? You have a good choice in men.
