Your bizarre news story of the day
Love sure was in the air that night. A UK couple has been found guilty today of public indecency, wherein the pair was engaged in sexual activity while attending a concert of British songstress Paloma Faith in September last year at Hyde Park.
As NME reports, Lisanne Beck and Simon Murphy were found guilty of sexual acts, including oral sex, by a unanimous jury in London, with prosecutor Tom Cleeve stating the couple were in full view of others at the concert and were committing acts that were "beyond the bounds of public decency".
Both Beck and Murphy denied all charges, with Beck stating she was trying to wake up her partner who had fallen asleep, and Murphy stating, "Lisanne didn't perform this on me and didn't perform it on anyone else. I would have noticed if she had."
However, witness Mike Holden was so unimpressed with the couple that he had filmed the act, which was passed onto police and was consequently shown in court.

With the couple still due to be sentenced, we're wondering if perhaps Paloma Faith was performing this hot number at the time.
[UPDATE 14/08/2015]
As Stuff.co.nz reports, the couple were fined £5,500 for their public outpouring of love, with Judge Charles Wide stating, "This was a particularly revolting piece of behaviour in public where large numbers of people were there to see. For all you knew there may have been children there who saw what you were both up to, you were both intoxicated and that is not a mitigating factor, that is an aggravating factor. There is no doubt about what you were doing, you must have known what you were doing and you persisted in the act."
