Couple caught having sex against wall of police station are expecting a baby - Update

A couple who were caught in flagrante delicto outside a police station are now expecting a baby. Andrew Moore, 45, and Charlotte Howell, 27, were spotted being intimate outside Gloucester Police Station at 5.30pm on February 1. Members of the public saw the couple and two Police Community Support Officers caught them in the act.

The PCSOs tried to cool down their ardour and told them to move on but the couple became aggressive and were arrested. Moore and Howell admitted outraging public decency. Gloucester Magistrates sentenced Moore to a community order with 200 hours of unpaid work. Howell, who has recently found out she is pregnant, was also given a community order with a four-month curfew between the hours of 7am and 7pm.



David Nicholas, prosecuting, said it was "an unusual case". He said: "Mr Moore's trousers were around his ankles and Miss Howell had a pile of clothing beside her. Police officers were called from the station and it seems they had a measure of difficulty disengaging Miss Howell and Mr Moore from their activity. They were arrogant and aggressive and said 'If you don't want to look, you don't have to'."

Lisa Ellis, defending, said Moore and Howell were in a relationship together. "They had a couple of drinks and got carried away," she said. "They were in their own little bubble and not really thinking about what they were doing. They both regret their actions." After the case the couple said they were pleased with the outcome and stopped for a cuddle at the very spot where they were caught.
