A “time and motion consultant” who filmed himself having sex with his girlfriend was cleared of voyeurism after a jury accepted he was attempting to study his own technique.
Judge Nicholas Cooke QC told the jury: “He is charged with voyeurism, not with being an oddball. You must decide whether he is guilty…”
Gibbons set up his mobile phone at the bedside to film himself making love to his brunette girlfriend without her knowing.
Video expert Gibbons then uploaded the homemade sex tape onto his laptop to give his professional judgement on his bedroom athletics.
Gibbons told police: “After studying the tape I gave her 20 minutes of sexual satisfaction, five minutes of intercourse and another nine minutes of sexual satisfaction…”
But his girlfriend later found the video on his laptop, called in police and ended their relationship…
The 35-minute long X-rated video was shown to the jury – although the judge asked members of the public to leave the court…
But the jury of seven men and five women took only 10 minutes to clear Gibbons of being a pervert.
One person who saw the video said later: “It was far from sexy and there was actually very little action in it. I think the jury could see there was very little sexual gratification in it for anyone.”
Har.
Anyone on the jury want to touch “this”?
From the looks of the guy, she should have ended the relationship before it started. But, we don’t know what she looks like, of course. Anything thinner than Susan Boyle would be an almost unheard of catch for a guy like that.
Just saying.
Once again “justice” has proven that good lawyering is all in the jury selection.
Who trusts whom here ?
What was the girlfriend doing scouring his laptop looking for evidence of whatever
Seems to me trust is lacking here to begin with
She failed the management test
Reminds me of an old supervisor who advised me that in the last year he had learned the “Golden Rule”
It turned out in his warped mind the golden rule was “The Rules are Golden and they are My Rules”
Good thing this fellow turfed the girlfriend
Not only was she unsatisfying but as well a mistrusting type to begin with too
I bet he was using his left hand to study his technique.
How can you be a voyeur if you film yourself?
He was studying his technique? ROTFLAO…
Was he coming too fast or moving too slow?
He could just have asked his (now ex) girlfriend and she’d have told him what felt good, of often, when, how and why … before collapsing on a pile of pillows with a charming afterglow.
C’mon honey, you don’t need that chump chimp.
Sounds like a vibrator could do you prouder.
The jury took TEN MINUTES ?????
Sounds like a premature exculpation !
Ok, that’s funny
Share the knowledge!
If it’s legal to film it for scientific research, it’s also legal to share the knowledge so other can improve as well.
I had no idea that this was OK. I plan on releasing several, uh, er, films on YouTube.
Also, the girlfriend sounds fat. She was probably opposed to her big, balloon ass on tape. It probably looked like the guy was screwing two white bean bag chairs.
“See here? You’re not following through, you have to push ‘through,’ not against, one smooth motion. And here, you’re keeping your left arm stiff, and that’s throwing off your whole game.”
