Girl Finds Out Parents Are Swingers
Friday 17th February 2012 | Osh
A 15 year old teenager turned on the TV and got the shock of her life when she saw her parents featured in a programme about a swinger’s club.
The father had a sex toy in his hand while dressed as Batman, and her mother was in a cage wearing stockings and suspenders.
The mortified couple in Germany claimed emotional upset for their daughter and tried to sue the broadcasting company RTL for massive damages.
The Chairman of the 9th Regional Court in Munich said ‘I understand your feelings and I would not like to be in your shoes.’ However, because they had voluntarily gone to the club and knew they were being filmed he could not provide them a large amount of compensation.
The couple’s argument was that they were under the impression their features would be pixellated out. The production company accepted that they had made this pledge to those participating but said they had ‘simply forgotten’ to do so.
The couple would have had to bring their daughter into court to testify if they wanted to contest the case further. The judge commented to the German national paper Suddetsche that the case was ‘simply embarrassing.’
However the judge did suggest the production company and RTL pay the parents a small fee for their appearance and cover their legal expenses. This was agreed and the couple received just £160 each and their legal costs were paid.
Imagine if this was you and your parents! We don’t think £160 would quite cover the embarrassment!
