A mother of 10 who says she experiences up to 40 orgasms a day due to a medical condition defrauded the UK's welfare system of $15,000.
Ruth Leach, 50, was spotted by benefit fraud investigators when she appeared on British television and in magazines telling of her condition - persistent sexual arousal syndrome.
The Times reports that the Department of Work and Pensions took a keen interest because she mentioned she had a 22-year-old lodger, Simon Leach.
Their investigators found Leach - who she has since married - was her lover and that she had been claiming nearly $15,000 in housing and income benefits she was not entitled to.
Yesterday she was sentenced to a two-year community rehabilitation order in Blackpool and told to pay $124 in costs after admitting four counts of benefit fraud.

Appropriate last name. Cummings would have been better.

What's the over/under on how long Simon goes before he drops over dead?

Ditto. It was brutal.
Teacher: Skooz, class is over.
Skooz: I know.
Teacher: Well, don't you think you should go to your next class?
Skooz: I will, uuhhh...in a minute.
Teacher: You really need to go now, Skooz.
Skooz: Yes, I know. But, can I just stay here for awhile?
Teacher: I have to go and I can't leave you in the room. You need......
Skooz: Please?
Teacher: ... to leave now. I mean it, buster UP and OUT!
Skooz: mmmkay. (strategically placing massive text book yet trying to make it appear natural).
