Woman Named 'Wale' Jailed for Loud Sex

A woman whose loud sex noises made her neighbors' lives misery has been jailed for waking them up one too many times. Gemma Wale of Birmingham, England, was sentenced to two weeks behind bars after a judge concluded she was "guilty of screaming and shouting whilst having sex at a level of noise which caused nuisance or annoyance" at 5am one morning early this year, the BBC reports. A court order imposed after complaints from neighbors had banned Wale from loud sex and other noisy behavior.

The judge ruled that she had also breached the court order by "banging around the house," "running around in the property," swearing at a neighbor, and arguing loudly with her boyfriend—who wasn't prosecuted. Neighbors tell the Birmingham Mail that Wale "drove us all to despair" and it took years of complaints before authorities acted. (Decibel records could be broken if Wale ever gets together with this Italian man.)
