A MAN and woman have pleaded guilty to repeatedly having sex in public in Irvine.

Pawel Robert Ginter, 39, of Livingstone Terrace, and Sharon Marie Fisher, 49, of Martin Avenue, pleaded guilty to repeatedly engaging in sexual intercourse on East Road on November 6 last year.

Kilmarnock Sheriff Court heard how the incident was captured on CCTV at around 10pm on the night in question.

The case called on the morning of May 9 but was continued until later in the day to allow time for the prosecution to decide whether the offence required the pair to be put on the sex offenders register.

When the case recalled, the procurator fiscal depute said the offence did not meet the register requirements, with "no significant sexual behaviour” involved.

Sheriff Nicola Patrick added: “It seems that reports are inevitable, and no registration is required.”

Sentence was deferred until a later date for background reports, and bail was continued for both.
