Man banned from sex at love nest

A man has been banned by a court from having sex with his partner at her home after keeping neighbours awake with loud shouting and banging in the night.

Brighton council obtained an injunction against Adam Hinton, 32, of Brighton, for threatening neighbours whose complaints had led to legal action.

Last week he was fined £200 for breaching a noise abatement order.

Partner Kerry Norris faced eviction and Mr Hinton has been banned from going within 100m (109 yards) of her flat.

Ms Norris lives in a one-bedroom council flat in Brighton.

Neighbours said they had suffered two years of the couple's noise throughout the night.

Some suffering sleepless nights had to be rehoused by the council.
