A brazen couple who had sex on the pavement as children and commuters walked by have admitted public indecency charges in court.
Bartlomiej Balwierz and Yandu Horne were unable to keep their hands off each other outside Union Square shopping centre and had sexual intercourse in full view of members of the public, including schoolgirls.
The passionate pair were “unperturbed” by commuters as they “gyrated” on Market Street, Aberdeen Sheriff Court was told.
Balwierz, 39, and Horne, 32, were thrown out of Union Square moments before and strolled across the car park before sitting down on the pavement.
‘It was evident they were having sexual intercourse’ outside Union Square
Fiscal depute Ryan Diamond told the court that at 9.10am on June 12 last year CCTV operators were following the pair after their ejection from the shopping centre and watched as they sat on the ground with Balwierz’s back against a low wall.
Initially, CCTV operators could not see what the pair were doing due to an obstruction.
However, after around 20 minutes, Balwierz stood up and eagle-eyed operators spotted his penis was exposed.
The police were notified and further CCTV inquiries found another angle in which “the actions of both accused were captured in their entirety”.
Mr Diamond went on to furnish the court with a detailed, blow-by-blow account of the sexual encounter.
He described how Horne initially lowered herself onto Balwierz’s lap before the two “embraced and kissed for a short period”.
Youngsters walked past as pair got dressed
He added: “Horne raised herself, appearing to move her underwear, while both she and Balwierz interfered with Balwierz’s groin area.
“Horne then lowers herself back onto Balwierz’s lap.
“She’s seen to gyrate on Balwierz’s groin while the two continue to kiss.
“It was evident they were having sexual intercourse.”
Mr Diamond said the lovers were both looking around “as if to see if they were being watched” but were “unperturbed” by members of the public walking past.
After around 20 minutes, the twosome concluded their encounter and Balwierz, evidently aroused, stood up with his penis exposed.
Balwierz then put his genitalia back in his underwear and zipped up his jeans – just as three 13-year-old girls walked past.
The pair were quickly traced and arrested by police.
Little recollection due to alcohol
Balwierz and Horne, both of Skene Street, Aberdeen, each pled guilty to a charge of public indecency.
Defence agent Marianne Milligan, representing Balwierz, said her client had not been granted “settled status” in the UK.
She said the former joiner had been sleeping rough at the time and had little recollection due to alcohol.
Lawyer Stephanie Milligan, appearing for Horne, said a social work report prepared on her client recommended a further deferral for a psychiatric report.
Sentence on the pair was deferred until next month.
