In what must be a case of nominative determinism (when your name decides what you’ll do for the rest of your life), a woman called Gemma Wale has been jailed for two weeks for breaching an ASBO… by having loud sex.
Judge Emma Kelly ruled, in writing at Birmingham County Court that Ms. Wale had gone against the conditions of her ASBO by ‘screaming and shouting while having sex’ at a ‘level of noise’ a neighbour was annoyed by.
The neighbour told the court – how they managed a straight face is beyond us, but there you go: ‘Gemma started screaming and shouting while having sex, which woke us up.’
‘This lasted 10 minutes’
Ooof. We almost feel for Wayne, Gemma’s boyfriend (surname withheld), who, incidentally, faces no jail time.
The judge concluded, reports the BBC: ‘I am satisfied that during the course of the early hours of 29 January 2015, at around 5am, the defendant was guilty of screaming and shouting while having sex at a level of noise which caused nuisance or annoyance to (a neighbour).’
