Two women performed sex act on each other in front of horrified children on school run
TWO women performed a sex act on each other in front of horrified children on the school run, a court heard. Rosalind Fitzgerald, 42, and Sarah Crawford, 39, had been drinking all night at a party when they got frisky in Gateshead. 3 3 They have now pleaded guilty to outraging public decency following the December 11 act. Newcastle Magistrates' Court was told the pair were seen engaging in a sex act together near the doorway of a shop at 8.40am. Prosecutor Paul Anderson said: "Of course at that time of the day there would have been children going to school." Both women appeared in court separately, with Fitzgerald handed a 12-month community order and fined £120. The chair of the bench told Fitzgerald, who has previous convictions "We've heard you may not be a stranger to these proceedings but you are lightly convicted. "Clearly there is a lot going on in your world (but) this is still an offence that needs to be considered." Alanna Wesencraft, defending, said Fitzgerald is "incredibly disappointed in herself". She added: "She has not repeated any of this behaviour." Crawford, of North Shields, North Tyneside, had her sentence adjourned until July. The charge against her stated she was "involved in a sexual act with Rosalind Fitzgerald, within the sight and to the outrage of other persons then present".
