Younger women are my Achilles heel, admits shamed MP Simon Danczuk as it emerges 17-year-old 'sex text victim' is a dominatrix who once sold toenail clippings for £10 a time 

• e-mail

Anti-paedophile crusading MP Simon Danczuk has confessed that 'younger women are my Achilles heel' as the 17-year-old he sexted was revealed as a dominatrix who sold toenail clippings online for £10 a time. 

The Labour MP said he was downing three bottles of wine a night when he began sending sexually explicit text messages to Sophena Houlihan.

Now it has emerged that Miss Houlihan, now 18, was running a fetish website at the age of 17, and used the site to sell used and worn thongs, 'frenchies' and knickers for £15 a pair.

The teenager is said to have called herself a financial dominatrix on the website using the name Goddess Rosalie Von Morell

The teenager, who originally got in contact with Mr Danczuk to ask for a job in his constituency office, called herself a financial dominatrix on the website using the name Goddess Rosalie Von Morelli, according to the Sunday People.

Mr Danczuk, 49, has admitted telling Miss Houlihan he wanted to spank her and says he now dreads his young sons finding out about the 'sexting' shame that has his political career hanging by a thread.

He told Ben Griffiths of The Sun on Sunday: 'Younger women are my Achilles heel. My first wife was ten years younger than me, my second wife was 17 years younger, my last girlfriend is 17 years younger.'

He added: 'I feel awful about what happened. I don't even know what came over me. I'm so embarrassed that I've been such an idiot. I'm sorry for letting my family down.'

The MP for Rochdale admitted he 'had a drink problem' and revealed a psychiatrist had told him to stop drinking for six months.

Mr Danczuk, an anti child abuse campaigner who helped expose MP Sir Cyril Smith as a paedophile, spoke of how he became attracted to Miss Houlihan after seeing pictures of her online

At one point Miss Houlihan tried to discuss work when the father-of-five had been drinking heavily. He replied: 'Let's get back to the sex', to which he now says: 'That's really quite bad, isn't it?

'I can't recall that. I'd had too much to drink.' 

Mr Danczuk, an anti child abuse campaigner who helped expose MP Sir Cyril Smith as a paedophile, spoke of how he became attracted to Miss Houlihan after seeing pictures of her online.

She had told him she was 17 just weeks earlier. 

Pictures from her web page have now emerged showing her lying on a bed wearing a purple wig and studded choker.

The People quotes her as saying: 'It’s online domination, quite a lot of things, financial domination, cissy fixation, men dressing up, giving them female mannerisms. Domination, that’s what they want.'

Target: Teenager Sophena Houlihan (pictured) was bombarded with sex messages by MP Simon Danczuk

She is said to have welcomed visitors to her site by saying 'Hello Piggy Losers' and inviting clients to be her 'money slaves' and 'pay pigs'. She would charge clients up to £250 to speak to her for half an hour on Skype. 

Speaking last year, she reportedly revealed that clients would find her through social media after spotting pictures she posted online.

Men would then pay her to become members of the 'financial domination group', before giving them tasks such as walking to the shops dressed as women.

The revelations are bound to increase pressure on the Rochdale MP, who could now face deselection.

He was suspended from the Labour party last week after the 'sexting' scandal came to light and now faces being banished for good.

Meanwhile, the shamed MP had strong words for his first wife, Sonia Rossington, accusing her of reveling in his misery.

In an interview with the Mail on Sunday, she claimed Mr Danczuk had sex with her while she pretended to be asleep and 'demanded that she have a cannabis joint ready-rolled when he came home from work'.

She went on to say that he:

• Pestered her for sex relentlessly;
• Tried to get her interested in spanking, caning and sado-masochism;
• Drank vast quantities of alcohol, up to a bottle of whisky a day;
• Used amyl nitrite ‘poppers’ and pornography to make sex more exciting;
• Persistently intimidated and belittled her in front of others;
• Was so mean he refused to contribute to his son’s housing costs at university. 

In response, Mr Danczuk threatened legal action and accused his first wife of trying to destroy his political career by making false sexual allegations 'of a criminal nature'.

He also claimed the woman from whom he was divorced in 2010 had pursued a vendetta against him.

The Rochdale MP told Tim Shipman at the Sunday Times: 'She has not moved on and remains embittered to the point where she has prevented me from seeing or having a close relationship with my children.' 

Upset: It was also said last night that Mr Danczuk cried like a baby when he was dumped by his local councillor girlfriend Claire Hamilton (pictured). The 32-year-old also called her former lover a 'Jekyll and Hyde ­character'

Unlikely support: Mr Danczuk's 'selfie queen' ex Karen (pictured) attacked his first wife, writing on Twitter that Ms Rossington should not judge him because she was not 'whiter than white'

Meanwhile, Mr Danczuk's 'selfie queen' ex Karen attacked his first wife Ms Rossington, writing on Twitter that she should not judge him because she was not 'whiter than white'. 

Claims made by Karen Danczuk on Twitter were strenuously denied by Ms Rossington.

It was also said last night that Mr Danczuk cried like a baby when he was dumped by his local councillor girlfriend.

Claire Hamilton, 32, told Grace Macaskill at the Sunday Mirror: 'He’s a real Jekyll and Hyde ­character. You get the public Simon who claims to care passionately about things, then the Simon who drinks too much and doesn’t care who he hurts to get his own way.

'He follows loads of random young women on Twitter so who knows who else he has been texting and sending messages to. He’s finally pressed the self-destruct button.'
