Two men in Australia who were hired to carry out someone鈥檚 sexual fantasies went inside the wrong house while carrying machetes and left after realizing their mistake.
One of the men, Terrence Leroy, was found not guilty of entering the house with the intent to intimidate while armed with an offensive weapon, the Australian Associated Press reported via The Sunday Times yesterday, May 28.
The incident happened on July 14, 2019. Leroy was acquitted early this month.
According to the report, Leroy and his companion were hired to engage in role-playing by a man residing in Goolgowi, New South Wales. The client apparently wanted to be tied up and have a 鈥渂room rubbed around his underwear.鈥
Judge Sean Grant described the facts of the case as 鈥渦nusual.鈥 The two men carried the machetes as a prop or 鈥渟omething to use鈥 in the fantasy. The report did not specify if carrying a machete was part of the client and Leroy鈥檚 team鈥檚 agreement.
The client was apparently willing to pay 5,000 Australian dollars (over P168,000) if the service was 鈥渞eally good,鈥 the judge said.
The men had made the arrangements on Facebook with the client giving them his address. The client had to update his address later on because he moved to another residence.
Leroy and his partner arrived at the street of their client鈥檚 first address and entered the wrong house. The resident who lived at the address was startled to find two men at his bedside holding machetes.
They asked the person living in the house if he was their intended client and the resident said no. After realizing their mistake, one of the intruders said, 鈥淪orry mate,鈥 then shook the resident鈥檚 hand. As per report, the other man said 鈥渂ye鈥 before the duo drove off.
The shocked resident contacted the authorities.
The two men eventually arrived at the correct address. Their client noticed the 鈥渂ig knife鈥 that one of the two men was carrying and asked him not to bring it inside his home.
According to the report, the three men had coffee. The client made bacon, eggs and noodles. Leroy fell asleep on the couch. The police later聽 arrived and found the machetes in the duo鈥檚 car.
The judge said the court was convinced that Leroy was one of the men in the first house with a machete, but that his intention was not to intimidate anyone.
Leroy鈥檚 lawyer had argued that the entry was for 鈥渘on-criminal purpose鈥 and strictly a 鈥渃ommercial agreement.鈥 Cha Lino聽/ra
