A disturbing scene unfolded in Battery Park City, New York, as a video surfaced online allegedly depicting a couple engaging in a sexual act in broad daylight while numerous park-goers, including children, were present.
The video, which has quickly gone viral on TikTok, has sparked widespread outrage and calls for legal action against the individuals involved.
The footage, posted by a TikTok user identified only as “girls or woman,” was captioned “Only in New York.” The user, who intended to spend a peaceful Sunday morning in the city, captured the couple under a barely-there blanket, performing the nasty act.
The video has now accumulated 43 million views on TikTok.
The graphic nature of the incident was partially obscured by a blanket; however, it was not enough to conceal the couple’s lewd behavior completely.
Another person at the scene managed to capture the faces of the couple, potentially leaving them at risk of being identified and facing legal consequences. This video has garnered 22 million views on TikTok.
The community and online commenters have expressed outrage, with many stating that the authorities should have been called immediately. Many are calling for the couple to be arrested and potentially registered as sex offenders, as their actions not only violated public decency laws but were also performed in the presence of minors.
Public sexual conduct is prohibited under New York Penal Law. Legal statutes address various aspects of this behavior, focusing on the protection of public decency and safety.
Engaging in sexual acts in a public space where they may likely be observed by others who may be alarmed or offended falls under public lewdness, which is a class B misdemeanor.
If the act was performed in the presence of minors, the couple could also face charges for endangering the welfare of a child, which encompasses acts likely to be injurious to the physical, mental, or moral welfare of a child less than 17 years old.
The couple featured in the video has not yet responded to the online allegations surrounding the viral videos.
