What has infuriated locals are claims that, despite Chubb's conviction, Bywater is continuing to work. They point to an advertisement she placed in a local paper after Chubb had been arrested seeking a "broad-minded" receptionist to work at her home in Sturminster Newton, near Shaftesbury.
She may have withdrawn her Web site, but her telephone answering service is still up and running, they say.
Bywater left her home shortly after last week's court case. After the judge gave Chubb an eight-month suspended sentence and ordered him to pay a ?15,000 fine, he, too, disappeared. The doors were locked and the curtains drawn at his home all last week.
Chubb might escape, but Bywater cannot. In three weeks she will appear in court again on shoplifting charges.
She escaped conviction on prostitution charges because police could not prove she was soliciting.
