Man banned from fiancée's flat after noisy sex sessions

A man has been banned by the courts from visiting his fiancée at her home after neighbours complained about the couple's noisy sex sessions.

Adam Hinton, 32, was handed an injunction preventing him going within 100 metres of the block in Bright, East Sussex, where his 29-year-old partner Kerry Norris lives.

Council officers applied for the order after Hinton was accused of threatening people who lived in the building amid complaints about Norris's noisy sex life.

Norris was fined £200 and ordered to pay £100 costs last week for breaching a noise abatement order after neighbours complained for two years about her loud shouting during all-night sex sessions.

Norris, who lives in a one bedroom flat, woke up her neighbours and upset children living in the building with the sound of her headboard repeatedly banging against the wall.

One woman told magistrates that her young daughter was left suffering nightmares and bed wetting because of what she had heard.

Other witnesses described having to take time off work because of the sleepless nights caused by their neighbour.

Brighton and Hove City Council was even forced to move some into temporary accommodation.

The injunction against Hinton, of Brighton, was granted at a hearing at the city's Family Court.

Hinton, who was accompanied by Norris, is prevented from going within 100 metres of the building, carrying out threatening or abusive behaviour or causing nuisance or annoyance to residents.

It also prohibits him from approaching any of the witnesses involved in the earlier case against Norris.

The injunction lasts for 21 days until a further hearing at the same court to consider a possible year-long ban.

Hinton, who did not have legal representation in court, accepted the terms of the injunction.

Norris's hearing last week heard that the couple's sex sessions had been known to last until 6am.

She had also been known to sunbathe naked in the garden in full view of workmen, it was claimed.

But she told the court: "I have a normal sex life".
