A woman has been remanded in custody accused of breaching an Asbo banning her from being noisy during sex. Neighbours complained of hearing Caroline Cartwright, 48, groaning and her bed banging against the wall at her home in Washington, Wearside.
Earlier this month she was given a four-year Asbo banning her from making excessive noise anywhere in England. But she appeared in court on Monday, charged with three breaches of her Asbo in just 10 days. She was remanded in custody until 5 May.
Cartwright was convicted of five breaches of a noise abatement notice on 17 April and fined £515.
But Houghton le Spring Magistrates' Court heard police arrested her on 18 April, on 22 April and again on 26 April, after reports from neighbours she was flouting the ban with her husband Steve. Prosecutor Claire Ward said neighbours complained to police about early morning noises including shouting and groaning coming from the Cartwrights' home in Hall Road, Concord, Washington.
Cartwright elected to be tried by jury and the case will be transferred to Newcastle Crown Court at a later date.

I thought this fit in nicely with Hypno's "stupid law" post!
Oh, and an asbo is an anti-social behaviour order in Britian.
1tee hee hee.

2Boy oh boy. What a terrible ordinance.
3I was inclined to support her in spirit when I began reading the article but then it became obvious that she's clearly flippant and has no regard for anyone but her self. If she's disturbing her neighbors rest. People who have to get up early and work a full day and has absolutely no regard for their well being then she's an ass. Her husband too.
I'm all for unbridled hot sex, hell my partner and I broke our first bed but if you're disturbing peoples well being have some respect or move to a place where you won't disturb them.
4Perhaps she needs to get a job doing voice-overs for porn...at least someone would appreciate her "gift" and her neighbors could get some sleep....of course I am assuming that recording studios have sound-proof rooms.
5I agree with Hypno. She's clearly being antagonistic. And it's entirely possible to tone it down a notch and still have great sex. Jeez.
6Even women who are screamers can have some sympathy for the rest of the world. At least she's still having sex, but to refuse to show any restraint strikes me as exhibitionism, for which I have little or no sympathy...except for that one time on the beach on Waimea Bay!
7I suppose her neighbors could have bought her a ball-n-gag restraint set...kinky silence.
8Or pitched in for some sound-proofing.
9That ban-flouter! Note to self: don't move to England....
And I'm just wondering, this was happening in her home?? Good grief! Do these people not use insulation or have property lines?

When i was younger, like 19, my roommate always had the cops called on him and whichever chick he was with that night. The one most often was actually one of my friends. Funny thing is I never heard them, not once... but I guess the neighbors sure did. Nothing worse then being woken up by cops banging on the door and finding out they were there because of noisy sex. Our neighbors really sucked! And so did the cops in Clovis. I mean, how long does it usually last any how, 30 mins... cover your head up with a pillow because by the time the cops get out there it is already over. What a waste of taxpayers dollars.
11Clovis! Hey, I've been there!

OMG - better that noise than bombing... make love not war
hilarious!

Wow they finally fined her. I guess the neighbors won't have to move. If its the same people from an original article it was that their young son's bedroom shared a wall and it kept waking him up. I hate hearing my neighbors have sex and I had to figure out how to explain to them they needed carpeting and to move their bed or a squeaky floor board. Embarrassing to say the least.

Wow she must have been really loud. I lived in a brownstone once
15and the guy who lived down stairs from me would leave is door open a little.
When he had sex with his girl friend I could hear her yelping like a dog.LOL.
That would drive me turn up my tv to drown it out. My upstairs neighbors woke us up at 5am and we just laid there waiting for it to be over. I felt like I needed a shower after that. EEEWWW!

This is a super ROTFLOL moment.
With this Asbo thing: the ban said she couldn't make excessive noise ANYWHERE in England? How do they enforce that? And it also extends to your private home? Not that I don't think she needed one, it's just that law is really interesting...
But you really have to be TRYING to be that loud! I mean if people in other HOUSES can hear you and have to call the police like 3x a week...you can control that. Seriously. She's just being inconsiderate. The husband, too, for encouraging/allowing it. I hope they're rich b/c I'm sure they'll get fined more times than just this...
17Wonder if the husband puts in ear plugs before he gets busy.
18I'm sure we've all had our loud moments... and sometimes sex warrants a loud moment. But there are also times you need to remember you have neighbors. Yeah, the ordinance is a little screwy (pun intended), but there is also a thing called common sense.
19If this happened in America somehow it would be the guys fault...HE drove her to scream. "I couldn't help it because HE makes me lose control."
20LOL
The walls have to be very thin. Seriously, how noisy can it possibly be?
21I happen to be very loud...surely you've heard we wail?
22Do you two live next door to each other?
23Oh dear.
24Amazing!!!!!
25We're getting ready to go out. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll wake few neighbors laters on.
26Good luck, Hypno!
