Loud lovemaker again spared jail

NEWCASTLE, England, July 1 (UPI) -- A British woman was spared jail for the second time for violating orders to reduce the volume of her lovemaking sessions.

Newcastle Crown Court Recorder Jeremy Freedman sentenced Caroline Cartwright, 49, of England's Tyne and Wear County, to 12 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 12 months, after she admitted to twice violating an April 2009 anti-social behavior order demanding she abstain from "making excessive noise, knocking, shouting, screaming or vocalization that can be heard in neighboring properties or outside the house," The Register reported Thursday.

Cartwright, who previously was sentenced to eight weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, for violating the same order, admitted to a loud lovemaking session with her husband March 14 and playing music loudly the following day.

"It's clear to this court that with your noisy love-making and playing loud music you have made your neighbors lives thoroughly miserable, disturbing their sleep so they are tired when they go to work and generally interfering with their lives," Freedman said.

"This court is giving you one final chance, you know what sort of noise will be a disturbance to your neighbors. You have been given one last chance -- don't come back to this Crown Court," the judge said.
