Man sets up 'ghost catcher' camera only to discover girlfriend sleeping with teen son

A man set up a secret camera to catch ghosts – but was shocked to capture his girlfriend sleeping with his 16-year-old son.

The guy - who has not been named – called the police after watching the footage and then confronted his 28-year-old lover, who has been living with him for 11 years, and she eventually pleaded guilty to underage sex after initially denying the event to her boyfriend, the Hobart Mercury reports.

She claimed she thought the age of contest in Australia was 16, but it is 17, and admitted she was "ashamed and embarrassed" by her actions.
