A couple who were caught romping under the Tay Road Bridge in broad daylight have each been slapped with a fine.
Frank Watt and Cheryl Johnstone admitted having sex in full public view on the afternoon of Bonfire Night last year.
A bridge CCTV operator caught Johnstone, 32, performing oral sex on Watt, 31, and ran out to demand they stop.
However, after returning to his control room he found they had instead resumed and subsequently began having full sex.
Cyclists and pedestrians witnessed the pair, who were seen hurriedly putting their clothes back on when police arrived to arrest them.
At Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday, Watt, of Tulloch Court, Dundee, was handed a £300 fine, while Johnstone, of Hilltown Court, Dundee was given a £135 fine.
They were also both removed from the sex offenders’ register, where their names had been added temporarily, when they admitted their guilt in February.
It was found the crime did not fulfil the register’s criteria.
The court heard the CCTV operator became aware of both of the accused sitting on a concrete wall near a public stairwell leading to the Tay Road Bridge at 2.15pm on the afternoon of November 5 2017
He could see Johnstone performing oral sex on Watt, which continued for a number of minutes. He shouted at the pair to stop what they were doing.
However, after returning to the control room, he saw they had resumed.
Both the accused were then seen to pull their trousers down, fully exposing their genitals before engaging in sexual intercourse with each other.
Procurator fiscal Isma Mukhtar told the court: “While they were doing this, several members of the public were seen to walk past. The two accused did not stop.
“By the time police arrived the accused were getting their clothes back on but both appeared to be under the influence of drugs.
“Watt fully admitted to police at the time what he had been doing and the pair were then detained.”
Watt and Johnstone both admitted taking part in an offence of public indecency, while Watt also admitted possessing cannabis worth an estimated £10 when they were taken to police headquarters at Bell Street.
