Woman has intercourse along with her breasts out at buying centre in entrance of horrified individuals

A woman has been locked up after being caught having sex outside a bustling North East shopping centre in broad daylight.

Rachel Hardy-Gent, who had her breasts on display and was nude from the waist down, was spotted by a delivery driver engaged in the intimate act in Whitley Bay. A court was told that the pair were in plain sight of pedestrians and shoppers using Park View Shopping Centre, prompting a call to police.

Hardy-Gent was arrested and subsequently discovered to be concealing a broken wine bottle neck in her bra, prosecutors revealed. Hardy-Gent, of Finsmere Place, in Slatyford, has now been sentenced to 16 weeks behind bars after admitting to outraging public decency, possession of an offensive weapon and breaching a suspended sentence, reports Chronicle Live.

James Long, prosecuting at North Tyneside Magistrates’ Court, said a delivery driver was dropping off goods at Park View Shopping Centre and was travelling down the trade entrance when he spotted Hardy-Gent and a male.

Mr Long continued: “They were lying on the floor having sex. This defendant is said to be naked from the waist down. She also had her chest exposed. The male in question had his trousers and underwear pulled down, clearly having sex.

“It was plainly in sight of members of the public passing and could be seen by people using the shopping centre. The police became involved and the defendant was arrested. She was taken into custody and searched and, in her bra, a jagged end of a bottle was found, like the broken neck of a bottle of wine.”

The court was told that Hardy-Gent, who previously resided in Carlisle and had only recently relocated to the North East, had 58 offences on her record. Mark Styles, defending, said Hardy-Gent wanted to be sent to prison.

Mr Styles added: “She drank so much alcohol on the day in question she blacked out and has no idea how she ended up outside the shopping centre. She had the glass bottle for her own protection but had no intention of using it.

“She wants help for her alcohol misuse and housing matters. It’s an upsetting application for me to make to ask that she’s sent to prison but that’s what she wants and she’s an adult, so perhaps she knows what is best for her. Alcohol is her demon as it’s used to mask the impact of various things that have happened to her over the years.

“She wants the help prison can offer.”
