A woman who had illicit s3x with a stranger on a busy public pavement in broad daylight has been fined £230 ( Shs 32736 ), the Mirror reports.
Kate Jackson, 40, and Jonathon Pisani, 44, were seen having intercourse in Stalybridge town centre, in Greater Manchester, at 3.43pm after they struck up a conversation while she waited for a train.
Initially, a witness called police in mistaken belief Jackson was being raped by Pisani, but council CCTV operators noticed the pair kissing passionately outside a nearby nightclub.
The camera was said to have then panned back to see Jackson and Pisani lying on the pavement cuddling each other.
Eventually she pulled him on top of her before they began romping as shoppers walked past.
Police arrested the pair at the scene with inquiries revealing both had been drinking heavily.
At Tameside Magistrates’ Court, Jackson, who lives alone with her Pomeranian dog, pleaded guilty to outraging public decency and was fined £50 and made subject of a 12-month community order.
JPs imposed a Contempt of Court order banning details of her address being made public after Jackson claimed she was “in fear” of being found by an ex-partner.
Pisani, of Stalybridge, is also accused of outraging public decency will appear in court for sentence in December.
The incident occurred on August 10 this year after Jackson was her way to collect her dog from a property in Ashton-under-Lyne.
Prosecutor Gareth Hughes said: “Police received a call a 999 call from a member of the public and they believed that there was a female being raped on the floor in the road or on the pavement at a junction on Market Street in Stalybridge.
“It was 15.43pm so in broad daylight in Stalybridge town centre. The council CCTV operators have then seen via the cameras Mr Pisani and Miss Jackson kissing outside Bar Liquid in Market Street.
“The camera moves on briefly and comes back and the couple are lay on the pavement cuddling and then Miss Jackson pulls Pisani on top of her and they start having sex on the pavement.
“Members of the public can be seen in the vicinity walking past whilst this is going on and it is seen by numerous people at what was a fairly busy time of the day.
“Police officers attended and arrested the pair. They were interviewed and no comment was made in interview from both parties. Both accept it and have pleaded guilty. The other defendant will sentenced at a future date.”
In mitigation, defence lawyer Christopher Squibbs said: “Kate accepts she’s guilty in relation to this highly embarrassing incident. She’s embarrassed by what’s going on in literally in broad daylight and the implications are clear.

“On that particular day, she had fled her ex-partner’s address as a result of ongoing problems. She had a dog in Ashton and was trying to get a train back.
“The trains were not running from Ashton so she found her way to Stalybridge and was told there was going to be a delay for a train.”
In addition to a £50 fine, Jackson, who lives at a house on state handouts, was also ordered to pay £180 in costs and surcharges.
