Africa-Press<\/a> – Malawi<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A court in the United States has ordered a couple to pay their 43-year-old son K24 million for destroying his collection of porn worth about K23 million.<\/p>\n

US district judge Paul Maloney delivered his ruling last week, eight months after the son, David Werking, won a lawsuit against his parents. News site USA Today reported that after a divorce, Werking lived at the parents\u2019 home in Grand Haven, Michigan for 10 months.<\/p>\n

He later moved to Indiana, leaving behind the porn collection which included 1,605 individual titles of DVDs and VHS tapes. Werking\u2019s parents were unwilling to transport the collection to their son, and they were uncomfortable with having the items in their home, hence they decided to destroy the items.<\/p>\n

Werking\u2019s father wrote in an email: \u201cFrankly, David, I did you a big favor getting rid of all this stuff.\u201d In court, the parents said they had a right to act as their son\u2019s landlords.<\/p>\n

However, Judge Maloney responded: \u201cDefendants do not cite to any statute or caselaw to support their assertion that landlords can destroy property that they dislike.\u201d Apart from the $30,441 (K24 million), Werking\u2019s parents were also ordered to pay $14,500 (K11.6 million) to their son\u2019s attorney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
