A judge in Michigan, US, has ordered a couple to pay their son. It was for throwing out their porn collection. The couple has to pay their son $30,441 (£22,100) for dumping his porn collection.
Nearly eight months after David Werking won a case against his parents. US district judge Paul Maloney issued his ruling last week.
The 43-year-old son said they had no right to toss out the $29,000 (£21,500) collection of films, magazines, and other stuff.
According to MLive.com, the court based his decision on an expert’s worth. The court ordered Werking’s parents to pay their son’s counsel $14,500 (£10,500).
After his divorce, Werking spent roughly ten months at his parents’ house in Grand Haven before relocating to Muncie, Indiana. He discovered that his cartons of movies and publications had vanished after he had relocated.
Werking’s parents were apprehensive about transporting the collection to their son in Muncie, as well as having the items in their home.
In an email, Werking’s father wrote, “Frankly, David, I did you a big favor getting rid of all this stuff.”
In the ruling in December last year, Judge Maloney said, “There is no question that the destroyed property belonged to David. Defendants repeatedly admitted that they destroyed the property.”
