YORK — A couple having sex on a “Super Spiral” ride at York’s Wild Animal Kingdom “horrified” a mother with young children who witnessed the act at “Maine’s largest zoo and amusement park,” say police.
As a result, Adrian Levy, 26 — a native of Jamaica and amusement park employee — is charged with one count of indecent conduct, said York Police Sgt. Tom Baran.
Wild Kingdom general manager Amy Wheeler said Levy, a ride operator, was simply “dirty dancing with a girl” and was not charged by police on amusement park grounds. He was however, fired immediately and sent home, she said.
Police were called to the Route 1 amusement park the evening of August 24 and after interviewing witnesses, charged Levy, who is in the country on a work visa, with the class E misdemeanor. Baran said the park was open for business when the alleged crime occurred and officers charged only Levy because “he’s an employee, she’s not.”
Both are adults and the act was consensual, said Baran.
“The complainant had young children who observed the incident,” said the police sergeant. “It is a serious incident, it’s very inappropriate and it’s against the law.”
Reminds me of that old joke:Gary Hart is living proof you CAN f-— your brains out.

... And that's what it's all about, baby.
It never horrified me but it would disgust me and I would be angry to have to explain it to my children in this situation. So is it the use of the word “Horrified” or the reaction at all? Because it definitely merited a reaction.
Something about this story stinks to me. Why wasn’t the girl charged? I call bs, political correctness. I want to see photographs of the girl.
That movie was called "Carrie"
Carrie: Hold me, Momma. Please hold me.
Margaret: I should have killed myself when he put it in me. After that first time, before we were married, Ralph promised never again. He promised. And I believed him. But sin never dies. Sin never dies. At first it was all right. We lived sinlessly. We slept in the same bed, but we never did it. And then, that night, I saw him looking down at me that way. We got down on our knees to pray for strength. I smelled the whiskey on his breath. And he took me. He took me. With the smell of filthy roadhouse whiskey on his breath. And I liked it. I liked it! With all that dirty touching, and his hands on me all over me! I should have given you to God when you were born ? but I was weak and backsliding and ? Now, the devil has come home. Oh. We?ll pray.
I assume they were having a ball till they were interrupted.
The prim and proper ladies in the swimming pool today are all clucking away. I told them the couple was in our recreation building, so what's wrong with recreating.....or procreating?
I thought the good cluckers would drive me out of the pool.

If you ever read Stephen King’s, “On Writing,” he discusses where he got the inspiration for that story.
You and my wife, no imagination!

I think I’d have just turned the kids around and said that was not appropriate behavior in public. Still, you gotta fire the guy. Don’t think they should have charged him with a crime though. But that is my libertarian streak showing through.
I beg to differ. Recently there was a case in Chicago where a principal and a teacher (at least one of whom was married to someone else) had a liason in a storage room in the school during school hours. The kids had no idea that it had happened and no possible way to witness the act. But it got picked up on a security camera.
The camera tape got published on the Internet. The next school board meeting was invaded by a number of the local soccer moms who literally screamed at the school board about the danger these two had put their children in. They demanded and got the two fired. They also got their teaching credentials cancelled so that they could never work in a school again. I don't know if any of them used the word "horrified", but it seemed to fit their reactions in part at least.
Which furthers my point about selective outrage and the drama queen nature of our society. Should the two teachers have been fired? IMHO, yeah. I just wonder what the sex ed curriculum looks like in that school district and how much more or less explicit it is than a grainy surveillance CCTV...and how many of the moms have been "horrified," to the extent of going to the school board about it.
"tard" refers to the ping list members and not necessarily the subject of the thread.
A good example is a "horriying" car crash. You weren't scared to your wits, and driving erratic because of the sight you have seen, but you might be sick and nausiated.
Agreed that it’s a matter of semantics. While I regard what the amusement park *riders* were doing as offensive, the way the story was worded made the woman’s reaction sound like the kind of selective outrage applied by someone used to claiming victim status...I would like to think that, in the same circumstances, I would have (as previously stated) contacted the appropriate authorities, used the incident as an object lesson for my children regarding morality and responsible citizenship and NEVER have discussed my feelings or mere observations with any person in the media.
a work visa to operate a tilt-a-whirl doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of the immigration laws. my guess is that his visa was long expired. the reporter just didn’t mention that part of it.
