Sex noises mistaken for assault on mother
Friday July 03 2009
POLICE say a teenage girl in the US overheard her mother's screams during sex and thought she was being assaulted, so she rounded up some friends to attack the woman's lover.
The 16-year-old girl, two boys and a 19-year-old man were arrested on Tuesday and charged on Wednesday in Torrington, Conneticut, on assault and conspiracy charges.
According to police, the girl thought her mother was being attacked on June 6.
Police say the teens went into the bedroom and beat the mother's 25-year-old companion with a baseball bat and punched him.
The man, Roger Swanson, says he suffered a black eye and bruising.
The woman, Melanie Arnold, denies she screamed. She said her daughter heard a slap and thought it was an assault.
