11/24/2008: "Reports of gay sex in public meet with with police disinterest"

A woman who went to police after spotting two gay men having sex on a public footpath was told to 'use a different path in future'.

Marie Cragg, 44, was walking her teenage daughter to school in Penwortham, Lancashire when she spotted two semi-naked men.

But when she called police, officers failed to catch the pair and advised her to use a different route when out walking again in the woods near her home.

[ That really is the extent of police apathy now in the UK. It is likely to result in a violent (non consensual) assault at some point, but the police can't even implement a little pre-emptive common sense. Anyone trying to put a stop to it themselves will be likely to be prosecuted instead. ]
