US judge says parents owe son over trashed porn collection

Reverse mortgage. Screw him.

Why all the hate for a guys $25k?

If the parents were charging him money to live there, by definition, it is a landlord-tenant relationship and that is all that matters in matters of law. What gets coded into paper is the law, and with no written exceptions the parents are on the hook for their behavior even if they have moral or ethical justifications.

The judge simply cannot dismiss the case on such grounds.

Now, just winning the judgment is the first step. He then has to garnish his parents' assets because I doubt they are willingly just going to give him the money.

From the article, he got divorced and moved to his parents house. After he moved, he left his stuff there (the nudie bags and sex toys), and they didn't want that stuff there.

If he valued them so much, he should have taken them with him or moved the stuff to a storage unit. I have zero sympathy for a grown ass man to act this way and sue his parents. He might win a judgement against them in court (because courts don't tell people to GTFO with nonsense lawsuits anymore), but he will also ruin his relationship with his parents.

He's claiming the stuff was valuable, but he's likely padding the lawsuit amount to be a dick to his parents. The magazines were probably all slimy and stained, and were worth about $20. But I imagine he also claims his dildos were "rare" and valuable as well. A 42 year old "grown" ass man suing his parents over this is just total nonsense. 🙄

Fucking his rents instead of paying rent on his own place.

I dont claim to know the history of their relationship. They shouldn't have tossed his stuff though. In his case, he probably shouldn't have left it there. But something tells me the problem here is simply the nature of the items, which is pretty typical for puritanical americans hung up on sex shaming.

Again, your personal opinion and intuition is asserting the case is frivolous, but the problem that in the cold, hard logic of law, it passes the test of a serious case.

Were items belonging to another disposed of? Yes.
Did the items have monetary value? Yes.
Did he ask the parents for his belongings back? Yes. This is the crux of the matter since it shows that he had no intention to discard the items and wanted to keep the items.
Did the parents admit to disposing of the items? Yes.

The actual damages have yet to be finalized. But they have an uphill battle in reducing the number further. 1600 DVDs even valued at $5 comes out to $8,000.

If the parents wanted to get away with it, they should have made up a variation of one of the most powerful excuses known to man: "The dog ate it". As long as they were willing to lie and not admit to wrongdoing, they would have gotten away with it scotch free. But since they admitted to doing so, with written justifications even, they sealed their own fate in federal civil court.

The cops did not bother to prosecute the parents.

This not me being sympathetic to the man or anything. I actually have no appetite for porn, especially hardcore porn, itself.

They should counter sue for storage charges...say...$5000 per day.

He's an adult. Imagine if your landlord just destroyed your property. It doesnt matter if he told you you couldn't bring it. Unless it was damaging the property or posed a serious danger, they cant just destroy it.

If upon eminent moving in the land lord said NO to something then I would have either violated and been dealt the same hand, or not moved in. This snot-nosed POS just wants free room and board and for and his porn. No woman will ever take sad sh!t seriously, and especially now. He's a waste of humanity, IMO.

$25,000 wtf over. For that money one could fly to Vegas, receive 95 professional bj's from a legal vendor for about $225 a pop. And have enough left over to eat and gamble a bit. I hope he wins the lawsuit.

I would pay someone 1/10 that amount to knockoff the son and let his estate take the money, which would be the parents. Modern solutions for modern problems.
