Cheating Shell oil workers fired after scorned wife releases their sex tape

Lee Hanlon and wife Charon

Two oil workers have been sacked after a video of them having sex in a hotel room was shared online.
Lee Hanlon, 32, and 33-year-old Amy Maxwell, who are both married and met while working for Shell, recorded their illicit encounter on his mobile phone.

The film was discovered by Mr Hanlon’s wife Charon, who sent it to all his contacts in an act of revenge.

It is understood police are investigating the distribution of the video as well as allegations that Mrs Hanlon, 37, vandalised her husband’s car after discovering his affair.

 

A police spokesman said: ‘Inquiries are at an early stage.’ Mr Hanlon, a former project engineer for Shell, is believed to have met Mrs Maxwell six months ago at the oil firm’s decommissioning plant in Aberdeen. They agreed to meet at a Premier Inn hotel earlier this month and filmed their night together.
Mrs Hanlon is understood to have found three clips a few days later when she used her husband’s phone to take a photo at a friend’s wedding.

Afterwards, she set up a group on messaging app WhatsApp and, posing as her husband, shared the footage with all of the contacts listed on his phone.

 She wrote: ‘Been caught cheating on wife and 8 month old baby with s*** from Shell. Anyone else up for it?’ The three clips then went viral online.

Amy Maxwell

Mrs Hanlon also allegedly scratched ‘cheating b******’ into the paintwork of her husband’s Audi.
But it is understood the couple, who have a young son, are still together. There was no answer at their three-bedroom £300,000 (€411,000) home in Westhill, near Aberdeen, yesterday.

Mrs Maxwell refused to comment last night. But she told The Sun on Sunday that Mrs Hanlon’s decision to share the video had ruined her life.

‘I don’t know how to describe all this,’ she said.

A spokesman for Shell said Mr Hanlon and Mrs Maxwell were not directly employed by the company, but were contractors hired through an agency.

She said they had since been ‘redeployed’ by the agency.
