A man was lucky not to find himself facing contempt charges when his highly embarrassing mobile phone ring tone rang out loudly in a packed courtroom.
The decorum in the Ipswich Magistrate's call-over court in Australia was shattered as the sound of a woman experiencing heightened sexual pleasure rang out for between 10 to 20 seconds.
Numerous people sat in the public gallery, including several local lawyers, struggled to choke back laughter in Court 1 as acting magistrate Roger Stark tried to ignore the ring tone and attend to the case before him.
The message repeated a woman moaning: "Oh, yeah ... yeah ... oh, yeah ... do it to me."
A man seated in the public gallery could be seen try to unsuccessfully turn off his phone as he also attempted to hide his obvious embarrassment.
While Mr Stark chose to take no action against the man, he could have held him to in contempt of court.
With audio of how the ring tone may have sounded.
