Girl, 15, finds out parents are swingers when she turns on TV and sees mother in cage and father as Batman in sex show

A 15-year-old girl turned on the television and saw, to her shock, her parents cavorting in a programme about a swinger's club.

The girl's mother was wearing stockings and suspenders and was in a cage while her father was dressed as Batman with a sex toy in his hand.

The embarrassed couple in Germany t ried to sue the broadcasting company RTL for massive damages, claiming emotional upset for their daughter.



A swingers club in Germany left a couple embarrassed after images of them were seen by their daughter (picture posed by models)

But the court rejected their claim and awarded them just £160 each in damages.

'I understand your feelings and I would not like to be in your shoes,' said the chairman of the 9th Regional Court in Munich.

But he turned down their claim for a large amount of compensation because he pointed out that they had gone voluntarily to the club and knew they were being filmed.

The couple argued that they thought their features would be pixellated out.



The production company admitted it had made this pledge to participants but said it had 'simply forgotten' to do so.

If the couple wanted to contest the case further they would have had to bring their daughter into court to testify, said the presiding judge.



According to German national paper Süddeutsche, the judge commented that the case was 'simply embarrassing' .

The judge suggested that the production company and RTL pay the parents a small fee for their appearance and cover their legal expenses.
