And some people think winning an Ebay auction is exciting

SOURCE

A woman in Germany who became pregnant after an online sex auction has won a court battle to force the Web site that hosted the sale to reveal the names of the winners, so she can find out who's the father.

Six different men won Internet auctions to have sex with the woman in April and May last year. They were only known to her by their online names, a spokesman for a court in the southwestern city of Stuttgart said Wednesday.

"The woman wanted to discover which one of the men had made her pregnant," the spokesman said. "So she needed their contact details. Of course, if they're not willing to go along with the gene test, she'll have to take them to court."

The woman asked the site's operator to reveal the true identity of the men, but it refused, citing a confidentiality clause in its terms and conditions.

The court ruled in her favor, saying the child's right to know who its father was took precedence.

Beware .. loonies about..

Lawrence Goldstein, 40, 1020 St. Claude Ave., New Orleans, was booked Monday with attempted rape, false imprisonment and possession of nitrous oxide, which is classified a dangerous substance, police said.

Sometimes known as laughing gas, the chemical was used by Goldstein to try and lower the woman's defenses, authorities said.

Goldstein called the 24-year-old Covington resident early Monday morning and told her that he had too many guests at his home and asked if he could sleep at her place, Covington police spokesman Lt. Jack West said.

The woman, who was house-sitting and had a 6-month-old baby with her, told him he could come over but only to sleep, West said.

Goldstein arrived at the apartment in a purple top hat, a large purple cape and a purple satin shirt, West said. His upper body also was covered in pink body paint and glitter, West said.

The woman told police that Goldstein forced her to inhale nitrous oxide and smoke marijuana with him, West said. He then became aggressive and attacked her, ripping off some of her clothes, West said.

The woman fought him off and ran outside about 3:30 a.m., where she was able to call police on a cell phone, West said. The woman left the baby inside, but the infant was unharmed, West said.

When officers arrived, they found Goldstein in the house clad only in trousers and with a bag full of whips, chains, a sex toy and handcuffs, West said. The officers also discovered a canister that the woman told them contained nitrous oxide. She told police they had smoked all of Goldstein's marijuana, West said.

While searching the man's car, they discovered the trunk was packed with hay, two hula hoops and another whip, West said.

Already dead when he found her ? Sure.

Model Sally Anne Bowman was murdered in a savage knife and sex attack in the drive of her home, a court heard today.

Prosecutor Brian Altman said this was because pub chef Mark Dixie was denying murder and had put forward a "desperate defence".

Dixie admits having sex with Miss Bowman as she lay in a pool of blood - but claims she was already dead when he found her, said Mr Altman.

She was bitten and knifed several times with such force that the blade passed right through her body.

DNA found on her body matched Dixie and his bite marks were found on her cheek and neck. His bloodied fingerprint was on her shoe.

Dixie, 37, of no fixed address, pleads not guilty to murdering Miss Bowman in September 2005. Mr Altman, opening the trial, said: "Her murder was motivated by sex. Her killer murdered her for his sexual gratification and the killer was Mark Dixie." Mr Altman added: "Mark Dixie admits that he had sex with her after her death but denies that he is the killer.

"He claims he just happened to be in Blenheim Crescent in the early hours of that morning under the influence of drink and drugs when he chanced upon her body and took advantage of the situation.

"He says that somebody else stabbed her to death. That, astonishingly, is his defence to the charge of murder he faces - you may conclude it is a defence born of desperation for all too obvious reasons."
