For thousands of years, people have used great literature as an excuse to start wars and commit criminal acts!
We guess this is sort of like that. Ha!
Raymond Hodgson was so dismayed to discover that his gal Emma McCormick was reading Fifty Shades of Grey that he assaulted her with a savory condiment!
Whaaaaat?
The local prosecutor explained:
├óΓé¼┼ôMr Hodgson thought that the book was pornographic, and that she should not read such literature.”
Hmm, he sounds like a bit of a controlling partner, but we guess that’s Emma’s prerogative!
Apparently they continually argued over Fifty Shades and eventually their domestic dispute turned violent…ish!
The prosecutor continued:
“She went to close the door and he jammed his foot into the door, slapped her once in the face, and then squirted her with this bottle of sauce.”
Brown sauce — the British equivalent of steak sauce — to be specific!
So a lover’s quarrel ended with Ray squirting his gal in the face??
That sounds like it could be one of the lost chapters of EL James’ book that we’d love to watch Alexander Skarsgard act out in a film adaptation!!
Domestic abuse is NEVER funny though in this instance no one was hurt.
For his demeaning actions, however, Ray was forced to pay a hefty fine and sentenced to a six-week curfew!
Oh, those wacky, tacky Brits!
