A man has been charged and a woman remains on the run after lewd behaviour in a major shopping centre.
At 11.50pm on Wednesday, November 20 a 38-year-old Hazelbrook man was standing in the entrance of a major shopping centre in Penrith with an unknown female.
Both the male and the female removed all their clothes and began having sexual intercourse near the front doors.
The couple then walked to a nearby garden, fully naked, before laying down in the garden bed and had sexual intercourse again.
