A couple have been charged with disturbing the peace because they made too much noise during sex.
Jessica Angel and Colin MacKenzie had been issued with an order requiring them to prevent screaming, loud moaning, swearing and raised voices after police were called to their flat 20 times in just four months.
However, following further complaints from neighbours, the couple were charged under the Environmental Protection Act. They face a £3,000 fine if convicted.
Disturbing the peace: An Australian couple could be facing jail after their romps caused complaints
We exceeded the noise pollution to the point we were arrested and taken out of our own house and told we couldnt have sex, 34-year-old Miss Angel the noisiest culprit - told the paper.
Mr MacKenzie, 45, from Sturt, South Australia, said: How can you live in a place where you cant have sex? Its ridiculous. Anyway, its mostly Jessie. The sex goes from four to seven hours, five nights a week. Ill probably die of a heart attack shes almost killing me.
Kinky: The sounds coming from the amorous couple were described by one neighbour as 'obscene'
A 72-hour order issued to Miss Angel required her to cease emanating any and all environmental nuisance including screaming, loud moaning, swearing and raised voices.
Despite that order, police were called back within two days after a further complaint from neighbours about the couples noise sex.
They were woken by police officers, arrested and taken to their local police station, where they were formally charged and ordered to appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court next month.
Detective Chief Inspector Trevor Lovegrove of Sturt police said the incident was one of the more interesting matters police had had to deal with.
We dont want to be seen as the killjoy police because were certainly not. People have a right to privacy within their own home, but when their actions impact others police need to step in before a situation escalates, he said.
A neighbour told the paper that he had been wakened one night by screams it was quite loud and they sounded very obscene, he said.
