www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/moment-couple-were-caught-having-5644037A frisky couple who were caught having sex on a beach in front of horrified families face up to 15 years in prison. Jose Caballero, 40, was filmed in broad daylight climbing on top of his girlfriend Elissa Alvarez, 20, on Bradenton Beach, Florida, as children play just a few feet away. The pair were arrested after shocked holidaymakers, including a three-year-old girl, spotted the lewd love-making session. According to New York Daily News, one woman called 911 and told a dispatcher: "They think it's a joke. It's very disgusting. "He just took her top off. There's a child here." The couple were found guilty on Monday of of lewd and lascivious behavior after the footage was shown in court. Assistant State Attorney Anthony Dafonseca said: "You think about 2:30 in the afternoon on a crowded beach, it takes a certain kind of person to do that in front of children only feet away." The pair face up to 15 years in prison and both will have to register as sex offenders. Caballero previously served almost eight years in prison for a cocaine trafficking conviction. Both will have to register as sex offenders.

I am more concerned over their age difference. Obviously she is making plenty of bad choices.
I would consider jail time of as couple of long weekends appropiate, and a really hefty fine for both of them. Rules are rules.
I imagine if they were a married gay couple we would not be discussing this as they are a protected class,

It says he was previously convicted of cocaine problems, so I would have to guess drugs played a part in this.
I understand cocaine can make stupid and illegal things seem fun and exciting.
I do think 15 years is too long, though. Maybe some weekend jail time, combined with community service and drug treatment, if they test positive. I don't think they were predators preying on the kids, they were just idiots doing their idiotic activities and it happened to be in front of kids.

Two heterosexuals copulating on a beach is not predators preying on the beach for anyone. It is illegal, and immoral according to state law. Of course, they are Spanish surname, so maybe a protected class after all. Whether immoral or not, it should not be allowed on a beach in public view.

I can't think they have any respect for themselves - let alone others - but I'm not sure what they did was worth the cost of their incarceration. If I had the power, I'd make them spend about 300 hours of community service picking up trash on the beach. If you want to act like trash, you can clean up trash.
As for the sex offender registry, until that gets fixed, I don't like it at all. One of those things that was a good idea in theory but didn't turn out so well in actual practice.

Exactly. If you've never had sunburned nipples, you don't know pain.

I agree that it was wrong and disgusting and they should be fined and held accountable. But, 15 yrs in prison is ridiculous. Lock them in stockades and let people hurl pies at them. Or flog them in the town square a few times. That would do it. Personally, I think we should bring back public flogging and give them that option.

It's a beautiful act between two consenting adult men, no wait two adult women, no wait, a man and a woman. I'm glad to be getting too old for sex. It's too progressively confusing these days. Edit; I liked the pies idea!

Remember when a parent that caught a kid smoking a cigarette would make them smoke the whole pack as a punishment? This couple's punishment should be sex with the public until there is no more public to have sex with.

What they did was against the law. I'm sure they were aware of that. The sentencing, however, is (to my mind) ridiculous. A weekend in the pokey and community service would have been fine. 15 years is beyond overkill, IMO. As to placing them on the sex offender list - both were adults. Sex, in and of itself, isn't offensive. Public sex, is illegal, as we've said. Punish that, but neither of these two idiots is a dangerous sex offender as I would define one.

I imagine if they were a married gay couple we would not be discussing this as they are a protected class, Heh. So not true! Whether the couple was straight or gay, I believe if they were caught having sex on a crowded beach, we'd be discussing this. Gays would have been arrested for it just as quickly as straights. The parents of the nearby children might have been even more upset!
