Frank Watt and Cheryl Johnstone admitted having sex in public under the Tay Road Bridge, Dundee, on Bonfire Night last year.

The CCTV operator told Johnstone, 32, to stop performing oral sex on Watt but when he returned to his control room they had resorted to full sex.

They continued in their tryst for 35 minutes despite pedestrians and cyclists going past.


They only stopped to put their clothes back on when police arrived to arrest them.

Watt was fined £300 after it was revealed that he had cannabis on him while Johnstone was fined of £135 at Dundee Sheriff Court.

They were initially put on the sex offenders’ register when they pleaded guilty but have now had their names removed.



The court heard the CCTV operator became aware of both of the accused sitting on a concrete wall near a public stairwell leading to the Tay Road Bridge at 2.15pm on the afternoon of November 5 2017

He could see Johnstone performing a sex act on Watt, which continued for a number of minutes. He shouted at the pair to stop what they were doing.

However, after returning to the control room, he saw they had resumed.

Both the accused were then seen to pull their trousers down, fully exposing their genitals before engaging in sexual intercourse with each other.

Procurator fiscal Isma Mukhtar told the court: ‘While they were doing this, several members of the public were seen to walk past. The two accused did not stop.

‘By the time police arrived the accused were getting their clothes back on but both appeared to be under the influence of drugs.

‘Watt fully admitted to police at the time what he had been doing and the pair were then detained.’

Watt and Johnstone both admitted taking part in an offence of public indecency, while Watt also admitted possessing cannabis worth an estimated £10 when they were taken to police headquarters at Bell Street.
