Banker jailed for turning girl into a 'sex slave'
12 April 2012
A City banker, who used his position as a top table tennis player to turn a schoolgirl competitor into a sex slave, was jailed for 12 months today.
Gary Tendler, 36, groomed the 15-year-old with explicit text messages before plying her with alcohol, whisking her off to West End bars and clubs and molesting her repeatedly.
The £150,000-a-year banker, who was arrested at the London offices of Dutch bank ABN-AMRO in 2007, met the child at a competition in Lincolnshire.
London's Snaresbrook Crown Court heard the married father-of-two's groping sessions in the back of his BMW were interspersed with "coaching" on company table tennis tables meant for staff recreation.
