Caroline Cartwright has been given an eight-week prison term suspended for 12 months -- meaning if she engages in over-noisy coupling again in the next year she will immediately be jailed. "I've heard a very short extract of the noise you make and can well see that your neighbours would be upset and distressed by this," said judge Beatrice Bolton at Newcastle Crown Court. Cartwright was served with a civil order over marathon romps with husband Steve, described in court as "unnatural" and "like they are both in considerable pain." Neighbours at their home in Washington, south of Newcastle in northeast England, had complained about the noise -- as did passers-by and the neighbourhood letter carrier. Cartwright was served with an anti-social behaviour order, known among Britons as an asbo, but admitted at a previous hearing to having violated it almost immediately, and repeatedly, last April. An anti-social behaviour order is a civil order made against people deemed to be a public nuisance, and is more typically issued for young delinquents using threatening behaviour, or disrupting the peace. At an earlier hearing the court was told that the local council set up special equipment in a neighbour's flat and recorded noise levels of 30-40 decibels, peaking at 47 -- as loud as a conversation in the same room. Cartwright told the court she had tried to restrain herself. "I did not understand why people asked me to be quiet because to me it is normal," she said, adding: "I have tried to minimise the situation by having sex in the morning - not at night - so the noise was not waking anybody. "I may be sympathetic to it, but it is not something I am doing on purpose." http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/100122/oddities/britain_court_sex_offbeat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NatalieWood 6427 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 I briefly dated a girl who made the loudest sex noises I have ever heard in my life. It would have been awesome except she sounded like a donkey being mutilated. Her landlord sent her an angry letter threatening legal action and she proudly framed it and stuck it on her wall.
