UK couple arrested for bonking in public

A couple in one of UK's beaches was caught having sex on a beach in broad daylight in front of gobsmacked parents and children, the UK Mirror reported.

Disgusted Simon Cummins and his mates were stunned when they heard the woman's apparent sexual moans as they walked along the promenade on Sunday morning.

Simon, 30, had been to a friend's stag party the night before but was up at 9am to pick up his car to travel to a charity football match.

But as the boys passed the famous Brighton Pier, near West Street, they apparently heard, then saw, a buxom blonde gyrating on top of a man on the beach.

Just yards from the sordid scene holidaymakers and children can be seen passing by.

At one point a youngster points to the lewd goings on before his disgusted mum pulls him away.

The bonking beachgoers also attracted another crowd of men who appeared to stop and take pictures â€" with one man even supposedly trying to join in.

Sussex Police said they did catch up with the couple and made two arrests before issuing on-the-spot fines.

But Simon, from Waltham Abbey, Essex, said he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw what was happening and thinks the bonkers should have been banged up.

He said: "It was broad daylight, the nearest families were 10 metres away if that, there were kids playing nearby. It was disgusting.

"I have young nephews and nieces and if I had seen that kind of thing going on in front of them I would have had a word.

"The woman and the man didn't look like they were druggies, or dishevelled, they looked like normal everyday people, except it looked like they were shagging on a beach in the middle of the day.

"It was like an orgy or the last days of Rome, it was a horrible sight to see.

"At one point a little boy pointed over at the couple and his mum had to haul him off in disgust.

"It's not Ibiza at 3am in the morning, this was in broad daylight with families around and they just didn't seem to care."

Simon, who was with pals Ben Stone and Richard Jones, said the reason the trio had noticed the couple copulating was because they heard the woman's 'screams'.

He said: "Ben said 'what's that noise?' We thought there was someone in trouble but when we saw what was going on we realised she wasn't screaming for help.

"When the police finally turned up I was shocked because it seemed to me they were almost scared about approaching the couple, and then they just gave them a fine.

"They should have been locked up."

A spokeswoman for Sussex Police confirmed officers attended the raunchy scene on Sunday.

She said: "Police were called to Brighton beach, near West Street, on Sunday August 19 at 9am where it was reported a couple were believed to be having sex.

"Two people were arrested and given a fixed penalty notices."
