Girl sold camcorder - with mum's sex film inside

A Canadian teenager is in trouble after selling her mum's camcorder - with a home made blue movie still inside.

The mother did not even know the camera was missing until her boyfriend complained the video was going around town.

The film showed the mother and her boyfriend engaged in an intimate act, reports Canadian Press.

The daughter, now 19, of Peterborough, Ontario, admitted she'd taken the camera from her mother's bedroom closet and sold it to a friend for £100.

The mother called police and her daughter was charged with theft.

Lawyer Robert Beninger said his client didn't know the tape was in the camera.

"It's an unfortunate byproduct of her taking the camera," he said.
