Edinburgh crime: Wannabe forced child to eat his own vomit during campaign of abuse

A model and movie extra forced a young boy to eat his own vomit during a catalogue of abuse against two children.

Renar Bain, 44, repeatedly assaulted the children by striking them to the head with her hand while she took care of them at her Edinburgh home.

Bain insisted one of the children eat food that had been dropped on the floor while also making the youngster eat his own vomit after he had been sick.

She carried out the abuse on one child over an eight year period while the second child was abused over a four year period.

Abuser: Renar Bain

The ‘background artiste’, who claims to have been an extra in the blockbuster movie Indiana Jones 5 and Steve Coogan’s The Lost King, denied the allegations and stood trial over two days at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

The court was played recorded police interviews involving both children where they stated Bain had regular struck them to the head during visits to her home.

One child said he had accidentally dropped noodles onto the floor during a meal time and was made to eat the food after Bain had spooned it back onto his plate.

The boy also said on two occasions he had been sick into his plate at the dinner table and Bain had separated the food from the vomit and made him eat it.

Bain also gave evidence to the court through an interpreter claiming the child was “confused” and said threatening him in that way would have been “disgusting”.

Thailand-born Bain added: “It would have been cruel and I would not have done anything like that.”

During cross examination by prosecutor Jack Caster, Bain, originally from Bangkok, denied having a short temper, slapping the children, making one eat food that had been on the floor or forcing him to eat the sick.

But following the evidence Sheriff Wendy Sheehan found Bain guilty of the three charges after deleting allegations of her assaulting both children by hitting them with a metal tube and repeatedly forcing one of the children into a cold shower.

Sheriff Sheehan said Bain had carried out the assaults over “a significant period of time” and the children had given “clear and compelling evidence” regarding what happened to them.

Bain was released on bail and sentence was deferred to July for the preparation of criminal justice social work reports.

She was found guilty of assaulting one child by repeatedly slapping them to the head between January 1, 2012 and May 5, 2020.

Bain was also convicted of assaulting the second child by repeatedly slapping them to the head between September 11, 2016 and May 6, 2020.

She was also found guilty of causing one of the children to be ill-treated in a manner likely to cause them unnecessary suffering or injury to health by insisting he eat food that had been on the floor and repeatedly make him eat his own vomit on occasions between September 11, 2016 and May 6, 2020.

Bain’s profile on the Star Now audition website states she is a commercial model, actor, TV presenter, DJ and hair stylist.
