Quote:A 41-year-old Batavia woman has been charged with adultery after being caught engaged in sexual intercourse on a picnic table in Farrall Park.Uh, remind me to take a disposable table cloth with me if I ever go picnic in that park.
The woman was arrested along with a 29-year-old Oakfield man and both were charged with public lewdness.
The man was identified by Batavia Police as Justin M. Amend.
Because the woman is married with children, The Batavian has chosen to withhold her name.
Sgt. John Peck said that Officer Matt Baldwin was dispatched to Farrall Park about 5:15 p.m. after parents in the park called police. Baldwin witnessed the couple still engaged in sex when he arrived.
"There was a little alcohol involved," Peck said. "They initially didn't seem too embarrassed."
Peck acknowledge that adultery charges are rare these days.
"Many people probably don't realize it's still a crime," Peck said.
He said Amend was not charged with adultery because he was apparently not aware the woman was married.
Both suspects were issued appearance tickets for City Court on June 8 and released.
