Abbi Taylor was on bail for dumping soiled adult nappies at a number of nurseries in South Tyneside when she was caught with her trousers down in a bin
A defendant on bail for dumping soiled adult nappies at childcare centres has been hauled back to court after being caught with her trousers down inside a wheelie bin.
Abbi Taylor, who is transgender and now uses female pronouns, has appeared in court numerous times in recent months over a number of offences.
She claims to have climbed into waste bins containing clinical waste to find “comfort”, while facing other charges relating to other offences including the smearing human waste on the fire escape of a nursery, and on milk bottles. It comes after mindless yobs damage 41 cars in vandalism rampage through sleepy market town.

A resident of a block of flats in South Shields sent a message to a WhatsApp group saying someone had been inside the bins while he was putting out rubbish, reports Chronicle Live.
Prosecutor Jane Foley told Newcastle Crown Court: “He said they were inside a bin bag within the wheelie bin with their trousers down. The resident captured the meeting on video.”
In footage played at court, Taylor is seen in a panic after being exposed, frantically trying to pull her pants up. The man is heard shouting at her and threatening to contact the police.
On another day, a resident at the same flats noticed the bins had been disturbed and saw there were torn waste bags. CCTV was checked and Taylor was seen entering the area around 3.20pm. Miss Foley said the residents found the incidents “alarming”.
On April 4, in the early hours of the morning, Taylor entered the front garden of a property on Wansbeck Mews, South Shields, and removed an item from the bin and concealed it in her pocket before leaving the garden.
Recorder Richard Herrmann said that while there may be a suspicion the offending is sexually motivated, there is no evidence to prove that is the case. Miss Foley said of the incident captured on camera: “Her trousers are undone and she’s making very significant efforts to pull them up while inside the bin.”
Passing sentence, Recorder Herrmann said: “This is a highly unusual and troubling set of offences. It’s made all the more troubling because of your failure, at any point, to properly explain your motivation behind your bizarre offending.
“I’m not satisfied I can properly find there’s a sexual motivation behind your offending, certainly not a sexual interest based on children or babies.”
In relation to the new offences, Taylor pleaded guilty to three breaches of a Criminal Behaviour Order.
In relation to the original allegations, Taylor pleaded guilty to three counts of depositing controlled waste at the South Tyneside nurseries.
Staff and parents at nurseries were left horrified after finding adult nappies dumped there. She had also smeared excrement on milk bottles and on a fire escape.
The 46-year-old, from Newmarket Walk, South Shields, also admitted stealing clinical waste bags from one of the businesses and breaching a criminal behaviour order previously imposed by Nottinghamshire Magistrates’ Court which banned her from going near nurseries.
For all of the offences, she was sentenced to two years suspended for two years with 100 hours unpaid work, with 100 hours unpaid work and a GPS monitoring tag showing where she is and has been
Newcastle Crown Court heard Taylor’s Facebook profile featured her as a cartoon character wearing a nappy and referred to being an “adult baby diaper lover”.
