Woman with grownup nappy kink caught climbing out of nursery bin of dirty pants

A transgender self-proclaimed “adult baby diaper lover” has admitted to dumping excrement-filled nappies at multiple nurseries. Abbi Taylor’s actions left staff and parents horrified, which included smearing faeces on milk bottles and a fire escape door.

Taylor, who was born male but identifies as female and was referred to in court as a woman, pleaded guilty to three counts of depositing controlled waste at the South Tyneside nurseries.

The 46-year-old, from Newmarket Walk, South Shields, formerly known as Martin Tarling, 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, reports ChronicleLive.

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”.

Jane Foley, prosecuting, said staff at a nursery in Cleadon noticed nappies had been dumped on the premises and in May 2023, a female member of staff saw Taylor exiting from one of the waste bins. Miss Foley said: “She saw a pair of legs climb out from inside the bin and run off.”

The manager at a South Shields nursery reported seeing someone “raking around inside” one of the clinical waste bins in January 2023, the court heard. The staff member was shocked and Taylor ran away, Miss Foley said.

Staff at a nursery in Jarrow initially believed a rival business might be dumping waste on their premises, the court heard, when they found up to 50 soiled nappies on site. Excrement was smeared on milk bottles and the fire escape, Miss Foley said.

In April 2023, Nottinghamshire Magistrates imposed a three-year criminal behaviour order preventing Taylor from going within 100m of nurseries after she was convicted of causing harassment, alarm or distress at a local care provider.

Taylor was interviewed and admitted to going into a bin “to sleep and find comfort”. The court was told of similar previous incidents going back to 2019.

A boss at one of the nurseries said: “The events were shocking and not easily forgotten. Myself and staff were coming in finding hundreds of nappies scattered in different coloured bags. It was really unsettling, we never knew what we were going to find.

“We had to pick them up, they were blocking the entrance and car park. It was really sinister. It’s always in the back of my mind not knowing what to expect. No one should have to feel like that at work.”

Businesses had suffered as a result of having to pay to improve security measures, the court was told.

Miss Foley said Taylor had “flagrantly disregarded the law”. Recorder Richard Herrmann said he had seen photographs of the excrement on the milk bottles and the nappies “strewn around the car parks at times when parents must have been going to drop off their babies or toddlers”.

He said: “It must have been absolutely horrifying to leave their children in that environment and go off to work”. The judge also considered the impact on nursery staff, saying: “It made them anxious, uncomfortable, unhappy going to work for months on end, not knowing what they were going to find.”

Staff at one nursery were so concerned they went in pairs when going outside to put soiled waste into the bins.

Nick Lane, defending, said the case was highly unusual, adding: “Miss Taylor accepts going to childcare settings and entering the bins in order to gain comfort.” He said the defendant had experienced trauma earlier in life, adding: “It seems through age regression, Miss Taylor says she found her release, her coping mechanism.”

Recorder Herrmann acknowledged Taylor’s troubled childhood, saying: “(Taylor) has a very unfortunate history.”

Mr Lane said Taylor explained that she had no sexual interest in children, and some people with a fetish for nappies were yearning for an innocent, “simpler, more care-free time”.

Mr Lane said Taylor was born male but identified as female, adding: “It is important to observe that this is not a recent development, because that is a concern that has been in the public arena for some time. The first recorded reference to this within the medical records goes back to 1993.” He said identifying as a woman would increase Taylor’s vulnerability if she was jailed.

Mr Lane said Taylor is in a relationship with a woman who she helps to live independently.

Taylor will be sentenced at a later date.
