Drinker performed sex act on man in front of pub customers

Lindsay O’Brian, 28, carried out the lewd act on Ian Jones, 37, at the Bodfor pub in Rhyl, in full view of pub-goers on the evening of October 3

Customers at a pub were left horrified when a drinker performed a sex act on a man in front of shocked customers, a court heard.

Lindsay O’Brian, 28, carried out the lewd act on Ian Jones, 37, at the Bodfor pub in Rhyl, in full view of pub-goers on the evening of October 3.

The incident was also captured on the pub’s CCTV.   

At Llandudno magistrates court, O’Brian’s defence solicitor said she was ‘ashamed and extremely embarrassed’.   

The pair admitted outraging public decency and O’Brian also pleaded guilty to having cannabis.

O’Brian was fined £160 in total with £115 costs.

Jones was fined £200 with £115 costs.

Court chairman Duncan Stewart said: ‘Outraging public decency obviously has for a long time been considered something not to be regarded as anything other than deeply offensive particularly as there were people actually offended.’

Solicitor Simon Sargent, defending O’Brian, said: ‘The reasons for her standing here are completely out of character for her.’

He said she had been drunk and suffering from anxiety when the offence occurred.

Mr Sargent added: ‘Miss O’Brian woke up at St Asaph custody suite. She had no idea why she had been arrested. She wasn’t aware of any circumstances of the offence until she was interviewed.

‘She’s extremely embarrassed and ashamed of her behaviour. She’s devastated by the events.’

Deborah Davies, defending Jones, said he was also ’embarrassed and ashamed’.

He had split up with his partner in June, been homeless and lost his job as a welder. He now hoped to start work again and had a bedsit.
