That wasn't pain. That was passion.

The sounds of a woman having sex drew an angry crew of teenagers to her rescue after they mistakenly thought she was being assaulted.

Once in her Connecticut bedroom, one of the teens used a baseball bat to club the woman's sex partner.

Police say the incident kicked off when a 16-year-old girl heard screams coming from her mother's bedroom on June 6, and thought she was in danger.

Instead of calling the cops, the youngster went to fetch her friends who returned to the property and beat up 25-year-old Roger Swanson with their fists and a bat.

The victim was hospitalized with a black eye and several bruises.

"They knocked on the door and were let in," said Torrington Police Lt. Bruce Whiteley.

"Swanson and Arnold had not been fighting."
