Defraud $15,000 and pay $124.....sounds fair /sarc

Ten orgasms a day woman a welfare cheat
Sidney Morning Herald

smh.com.au

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.
