Nakedness

[tamirra]

Hi can anybody please shed some light on this problem, my elderly parents have a married couple living next door to them who continue to show all and sundry at the window and in the garden in the summer, and have sex in front of the window, without curtains or nets, is this illegal to do so when they live on a busy main road, my grand children go there and play in the garden in the summer and i certainly don't want them seeing bits and bobs floating about, also he will make a point of shouting hello so you look at him, we are not really sure how to tackle ( no pun intended ) it. x Thanks.

Apologies to Tamirra for thread creep. Am giving my liver a rest so no cafes or alcohol.

// then maybe a little tip off to the police and let them handle it.// handle it ????.

tamira, let us know exactly where your parents live I'd be happy to sell tickets.

if a crowd forms outside i'm sure the police will intervene eventually

[chaptazbru]

^ good point !

[DTCwordfan]

ron charges 20% commission for his handling fees.

Yes i saw them last night at the window having sex, not nice to see and especially for my parents to see, why would i lie about such things? The man when in the garden in the summer will say Good Morning to my mum while he is naked, NOT while having sex.

[tamirra]

I will be calling on them tomorrow, this needs to stop, also there is nothing wrong with their eye sight they know what they see/saw.

Why not have a word with your local PCSO and see what they have to say?

Opinions from ABers are great, but it would be helpful to know what the law is on this. I'm very open-minded and it probably wouldn't bother me - but I can understand why others would find it unacceptable.

Here is a short video taken from the British naturism website explaining, quite well, the law regarding nudity in public.

Regarding the visible sex:
Being naked and having sex in your own home is obviously not an offence in itself.
Doing the deed in a bedroom and being inadvertently observed from the top deck of a bus that happened to stop outside is not an offence.
Deliberately having sex in front of a window knowing that there is a good chance of being seen by passers by and intending to be seen and thereby cause alarm is an offence, proving it is another matter as you would need to prove that the couple intended to cause that alarm/distress.
If the male is wilfully, lewdly and obscenely (thats the old wording - it may have changed) exposing his genitals towards a female in such an obvious manner that it is plain to see that he intended her to be alarmed/distressed then you have the offence of indecent exposure. Thus a bloke who is glimpsed whilst having a pee on a tree doesn't commit the offence but a bloke who jumps from behind a tree waving himself about shouting 'woohoo look at this darling' does.
Therefore the chap who walks down his garden naked and shouts 'hello' thereby drawing attention to himself does not commit indecent exposure unless or until it is accompanied by other lewd or obscene behaviour (stroking an erection would qualify.)

i saw them last night at the window having sex

Which window is this? If it's a front window and can be seen from the street, some public order offence may have been committed. If it's a side window facing only your house, you'll just have to stop looking.

[tamirra]

Its the front windows overlooking the main sreet.

I would love to know how this was resolved.
