Pensioner, 79, Caught Having Sex In Public With Boyfriend

A 79 year-old grannie and her lover were arrested after shocked passers-by spotted the pair having sex in parkland next to a busy road.

Pensioner Alicia Brown will now be on the sex offenders register for thirty months after the amorous public display, which she blames on alcohol and receiving bad news.

Brown, of Gloucester Terrace, Paddington pleaded guilty to committing an act outraging public decency, namely engaging in sexual activity, while various members of the public observed.

Camberwell Green Magistrates Court heard police were called to Rush Common, Brixton Hill at 10.20 am on May 7.

"Brown and a male companion were seen having sex," prosecutor Mr. Johnson Shittu told the court.

Members of the public reported the male, aged in his fifties - who was not identified in court - as being naked below the waist and engaging in sexual intercourse with the defendant.

He was prosecuted separately for the same offence and other crimes and was jailed for two months.

The court heard Brown - who arrived at court with her daughter and granddaughter and wheeling a shopping trolley - was being visited by her boyfriend.

He travelled down from Manchester and Brown admits they drank too many cans of strong lager and she had just received bad news about a young family member.

She told the court: "I shouldn't have been there. I'm sorry."

Brown received a thirty-month conditional discharge, was ordered to sign the sex offenders register and pay £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
