Two women, Ana Khan and Tanieka Higgins, were sentenced to three years and nine months for robbing a man at knife-point and forcing him to twerk to gangster music in a Pokemon onesie. Daily Mirror has the details.
A pair of women have been jailed for a knife-point robbery on a man in his Pokémon onesie, who they ordered to “twerk” to gangster music during the traumatic ordeal.
The court was told how they held their terrified victim in a room of his home in Radford for an hour-and-a-half, while a third person filmed him dancing, before he escaped to safety through a window and raised the alarm. Judge Jeremy Lea, who sentenced the women, said the robbery was in the man’s home where he was entitled to feel safe, the Nottingham Post reports.
The women pulled out knives and told him the man they were going to stab him.
“After he was kept in the room, both women went with him to his room and stole a Pokémon toy and a duck-shaped soap-on-a-rope. He was taken back to Khan’s room.
“They demanded he dance to gangster music,” said Mr Armstrong-Holmes, who did not specify the tune he had to dance to. “They ordered him to twerk and ordered him to dance or ‘this is going into you’ [the knife].”
Not sure what made them want to see someone twerk to gangster music in a Pokemon Onesie, but they’ll have plenty of time to rethink what they did.
