A couple in Florida attracted quite a bit of attention last summer, when a video of them having the often-cliched “sex on the beach” made its way to YouTube for all to see.
A description of the explicit video was provided by WFLA:
The couple didn’t hold back.
Bold and brazen with their bodies, they were grinding in full view. Bradenton Beach Police were called, and the couple was eventually arrested.
The indecent encounter was captured by a sunbathing great-grandmother on her iPhone. There are claims even a three-year-old saw the couple.
On Monday, the couple appeared before a judge. TIME reports:
Jose Caballero, 40, and Elissa Alvarez, 20, were convicted of two counts each of lewd and lascivious behavior for having sex on Bradenton Beach in 2014. The jury took only 15 minutes to reach a verdict.
As part of their sentence, the pair faces up to 15 years in prison each. Attorney for the couple Ronald Kurpiers told TIME:
“’It’s a horrifically harsh potential penalty for what they’re alleged to have done and that’s really the rub here,’ he said.”
The following is courtroom footage of the family members talking about the illicit act:
Arresting officer Eric Hill from Bradenton Beach commented:
“This isn’t an after-hours disco that people can use for a garbage can. This is the root of family.”
Resident Ray Schmitz agrees:
“It’s ridiculous, it shouldn’t happen, there’s a time and place for everything, not for on the beach. I’m proud of our law enforcement for stopping this!”
While a date for sentencing has yet to be determined, the couple must also become registered sex offenders.
Yes, I think she is not guilty.
What if it had been two FAGS...?
Bet theyd clean up trash for 30 hours on weekends.
Uplift fags, push down traditional romance between young people.
Sorry, thats the truth, even if this pair are idiots.
You'd do well in the Taliban.
I agree 15 years in jail is too much. How about a big big fine! Pay up or go to jail!
I don’t disagree. I think the sex offender registry rules is ridiculous. You could be put on the sex offender registry for public urination which is an abomination and another example of lawyers gone mad. To be marked like that is a worse fate than death, IMO. People don’t ask why you were put on the list. They just assume the worst.
No, they fit in perfectly fine with today’s sexed up demon-possessed American morals.
I’m all for them being tossed into a dark pit for 15 though. Guess I’m out of touch?
At least we know the guy is not a Gay Caballero.
27 posts. It took 27 posts...
Oh, jeez. Here it goes.
Yes, you are. And I hope your children are treated with equal ferocity when they are caught doing something stupid.
LOL!
More to the story...
’ “The state will ask for jail time for Alvarez and prison time for Caballero. Dafonseca said due to Caballero being out of prison less than three years before committing another felony, he’s looking at serving the maximum time of 15 years.
“We gave them a reasonable offer, what we felt was reasonable, and they decided it wasn’t something they wanted to accept responsibility for,” Dafonseca said. “Despite the video, despite all the witnesses.”
Ronald Kurpiers, defense attorney for the couple, said his clients were “devastated,” by the verdict. Though Dafonseca hinted that they’d be speaking with the judge about whether or not 15 years was appropriate for Caballero, Kurpiers said the judge would have no discretion.
“That’s what he’ll get,” Kurpiers said.’

Thanks! The back story provides a little more clarity.
Bad boys and the stupid girls who adore them.
“... poor guy looks like he’s already hung..”
I SAW what you did there, null! :)
Sounds like the judge didn’t get off on the couple’s romp on the beach.
What a “Sport”.
Yes, you are. Ridiculously so. And i’m sure you’re not a lot of fun at parties either.
LOL!
Nope I’m a stick in the mud. I obviously report to a much higher authority than you do though.
I’m sure you’re kids are well raised also....
Matters have degenerated to the point where people are on the "sex offender" list for being spotted taking a leak in public because they were desperate and couldn't find a restroom.
