A couple who played to the crowd while having oral sex in and outside Barnsley Interchange have been jailed for 10 weeks. Jacqueline Holden, 37, of Oxford Street, Barnsley, and Sam Rowan, 22, of Bridge Street, Barnsley, began their close encounter in Midland Street and were egged on by a crowd of between 30 and 40 teenagers inside the interchange, Barnsley Magistrates' Court was told. Chantel Lowery Green, prosecuting, said the couple went inside the building and were filmed by teenagers with mobile phones. "Mr Rowan was looking around and wanted the public to know what was going on. The couple played to the audience. Ms Holden then lay on the floor and Mr Rowan had oral sex with her." Holden denied this after her arrest. Philip Howard, defending, said the couple had been drinking heavily and were later 'horrified' about what they got up to. He said, normally, Holden would have called the police if she had seen another couple having oral sex in public. Mr Howard added Rowan suffered from Asperger's Syndrome and had other problems. District Judge John Foster said: "You engaged in open sexual contact outside and inside the interchange in front of a crowd you were encouraging. "The interchange is probably the busiest place in the town and the description of your behaviour has been absolutely disgusting. This demands a deterrent." Holden and Rowan admitted outraging public decency.
