A couple in the UK had public sex blatantly while queuing in a chain pizza shop, under the eyes of others. Their wild behavior was captured by surveillance camera and went viral on the internet. The couple was charged with misdemeanors in public areas and sentenced to community service order, including 23-week long curfews at separate addresses, monitored by electronic tags.
29-year-old Daniella Hirst and 31-year-old Craig Smith were caught on CCTV engaging in a sex act in the pizza shop after ordering their food. It was obvious that Hirst had noticed that the staff was watching them, but she just smiled back. As the video went viral on the internet, the couple soon became talk of the town and received media interviews.
When interrogated by police, Hirst asserted her very open attitude towards sex and claimed she was addicted to the excitement of being caught during public sex. Smith, on the other head, regretted the wild move and claimed they were both drunk. He told the police that they were aroused discussing their favorite public sex locations when waiting for the food.
According to local media, public sex was serious enough for them to be jailed but instead they were given 200-hour of community orders in a year and 23-week long curfew at separate addresses until March 2018. On learning the sentence, Smith swore and bared his bottom towards the media.
Authorities in New Mexico issued an arrest warrant Friday for director and Emmy Award-winning actor Timothy Busfield to face a child sex abuse charge.
An investigator with the Albuquerque Police Department filed a criminal complaint in support of the charge, which says a child reported that Busfield touched him inappropriately. The acts allegedly occurred on the set of “The Cleaning Lady,” a TV series Busfield directed and acted in.
The child said the first incident happened when he was 7 years old and Busfield touched him three or four times. Busfield allegedly touched him five or six times on another occasion when he was 8.
The child's mother reported to Child Protective Services that the abuse occurred between November 2022 and spring 2024, the complaint said.
Busfield's attorney and agent did not immediately respond to email messages seeking comment late Friday.
The arrest warrant, which was signed by a judge, said the charge is for two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor.
According to the complaint, the child, which it identifies only by his initials, has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. A social worker documented him saying he has had nightmares about Busfield touching him and woken up scared.
The child was reportedly afraid to tell anyone because Busfield was the director and he feared he would get mad at him.
The investigation began in November 2024, when the investigator responded to a call from a doctor at the University of New Mexico Hospital. The child’s parents had gone there at the recommendation of a law firm, the complaint said.
“The Cleaning Lady” aired for four seasons on Fox, ending in 2025. It starred Elodie Yung as a Cambodian doctor who comes to the United States to get medical treatment for her son, witnesses a mob killing and ends up becoming a cleaner for organized crime.
The show was produced by Warner Bros., which according to the complaint conducted its own investigation into the abuse allegations but was unable to corroborate them.
Busfield is known for appearances in “The West Wing,” “Field of Dreams” and “Thirtysomething,” the latter of which won him an Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series in 1991.
He is married to actor Melissa Gilbert; there was no immediate response to an email sent to her publicist.
