Two men with machetes entered the wrong house in New South Wales, Australia in a pay for a sexual fantasy gone wrong. They had been hired to carry out a client's fantasy of being tied up in his underwear and stroked with a broom. The role play was arranged over Facebook by a man near Griffith, New South Wales, who provided his address to the hired pair.

However, the client moved to another address 50km (30 miles) away without updating the two men. They then entered a home on the street of the original address.

When the resident noticed a light on in his kitchen at 06:15, he assumed it was a friend who came by daily to make morning coffee.

When the men called out the name of their client, the resident turned on the light and removed a sleep apnoea mask he was wearing.

It was then that he saw them standing above his bed with the machetes, which they appeared to have brought as props for the role play.

One of them has now been acquitted of entering a home armed with a weapon. The judge concluded that "the facts of the case are unusual."
