Man Used Transmitter To Monitor Wife's Sex Life

ALIQUIPPA, Pa. -- Police have charged a Pennsylvania man with hiding a remote listening device under his estranged wife's bed that he said he used to avoid overhearing her sex life in the house they still shared.

Raccoon Township police say 66-year-old Wayne Comet Cripe's wife contacted them after finding the transmitter under her bed last month. The Cripes are separated, but still share a home with separate bedrooms.

Police say Cripe was tired of overhearing the lovemaking and tried to use the device, which he said didn't work, to determine whether "the coast was clear" before returning home.

No attorney is listed for Cripe in court records.

They were "separated" but forced to stay in the same house. As a woman I'd say she should have gone elsewhere, but.......

And BTW, it's not only perverted, it's illegal. That's why he was arrested.

I lived with my now ex for 6 months while going through our divorce but we stayed in separate rooms and neither of us were tacky enough to bring someone else into the home during that time. I dated and he knew it though I never came right out and beat him over the head with it but he had to have known. But I never brought the man into our home. She has no class and neither does he.

Kind of like shooting someone just to see if the bullets were still good.

Maybe if the wife would have given the old boy some they may not have divorced. Anyway it kinda sounds like that to me. Also I thought he was being kind to let her have some privacy like he said without barging in and saying honey I'm home, Maybe he can do that next time, and if she really wants privacy she should think about another place to live or he should. Maybe they are still in love and hoping for a reconciliation. At least he didn't barge in and kill the guy donking his ex anyway I'd much rather be reading about everyone still alive.

At 66 who would care who she was having sex with. All those wrinkles would make you throw up anyway

already there. You need to lighten up some and make fun of what is such an ineviditable fact of life. I am 57 does that qualify. Humor goes farther then seriousness ever will. Got you to reply didn't it?

I thought it was against the law to have sex after 55.
