Public sex in front of passersby
An unusual event occurred last weekend on a train platform in Berlin. Passersby observed a couple having sex in public and subsequently informed the police. The pair was caught red-handed by officers and held accountable.
How did it come about?
The situation occurred late in the evening at a station of the Berlin subway. The couple, both in their early 20s, had apparently looked too deeply into the glass and lost their inhibitions. According to eyewitnesses, they began kissing and touching each other before eventually having sexual intercourse in the middle of the platform. The situation was observed by several passers-by, who then alerted the police. The officers were quickly on the scene and were able to catch the couple in the act. The two were taken to the police station for questioning and must now expect a fine for causing public nuisance.
How did the passers-by react?
Passers-by reacted differently to the situation. While some simply walked away and called the police, others tried to dissuade the couple from their behavior.
An eyewitness reported that he tried to stop the two by addressing them and pointing out that there were children and teenagers nearby. But the couple was not deterred and continued their lovemaking. Ultimately, passersby decided to call the police to hold the couple accountable.
What threatens the couple?
The couple faces a fine for causing a public nuisance. This is a criminal offense in Germany and can be punished with a fine or even imprisonment. However, the exact penalty depends on several factors, such as the couple’s age and criminal record, as well as the severity of the offense. In this case, the penalty is likely to be rather light, as no one was injured and the pair did not cause any property damage.
Public nuisance – What does it mean?
Agitation of public nuisance is a criminal offense in Germany and is regulated in Section 183a of the German Criminal Code. This is an offense aimed at protecting and preserving public decency.
Anyone who performs a sexual act in public and thereby harasses or provokes other people commits a criminal offense. It is irrelevant whether other people actually observe the action or are disturbed.
What are the consequences?
Anyone who violates Section 183a of the German Criminal Code must expect a fine or even imprisonment. The exact penalty depends on several factors, such as the offender’s age and criminal record, as well as the severity of the offense. As a rule, a fine is imposed on a first offender.

In addition to criminal liability, a conviction for causing public nuisance may have other consequences, for example in a professional context. For example, if you are a teacher convicted of such a crime, you can lose your job or at least get into a lot of trouble.
How to protect yourself?
To protect yourself from being fined for causing a public nuisance, you should take care to engage in sexual activity only in private. In public, sexual acts should be refrained from so as not to harass or provoke others. If such acts are observed and reported, charges and convictions may result.
Sex in public – What is allowed?
In principle, sex in public is forbidden in Germany and is punished as a public nuisance. However, there are exceptions, for example, if it is a remote location where passers-by are not disturbed.
Sex is also permitted in locked rooms that cannot be seen from the outside. Those who are unsure should play it safe and perform sexual acts only in private.
Witnessing a crime – How should you behave?
Anyone who witnesses a crime should notify the police immediately. It is important to remain calm and give as precise information as possible to enable the emergency services to work quickly and effectively. It is advisable to remain at the scene until the arrival of the police in order to be able to provide further information if necessary. Also, under no circumstances should you intervene yourself so as not to cause danger to yourself or others.
