A woman who breached a court order barring her from causing nuisance by making "loud sex noises" was sent to jail.

Gemma Wale, of Small Heath, Birmingham, was given a two-week prison sentence after a civil court judge concluded that she had breached the order by "screaming and shouting whilst having sex" at a "level of noise" which annoyed a neighbour.

Judge Kelly said the anti-social behaviour order had barred Miss Wale from making "loud sex noises". The judge concluded that she had also breached the order by arguing with her boyfriend, swearing at a neighbour, "banging around the house" and "running around in the property".

Judge Kelly said a neighbour had complained that at around 5am on January 29 "paragraph 3 of the order" had been breached.

"Gemma started screaming and shouting whilst having sex, which woke us up," said the neighbour. "This lasted 10 minutes."
