Shocking act at Ian Dipple Lagoon, Labrador shocks onlookers

A couple have been caught having sex in broad daylight at a popular children’s swimming hole and family pelican feeding spot, leaving witnesses aghast.

A couple have shocked onlookers by having sex in daylight at a popular children’s swimming and family pelican feeding spot. It was also the scene where a woman’s body was pulled from the water weeks ago.

The pair were allegedly engaging in acts including intercourse, according to stunned witnesses at Labrador’s Ian Dipple Park for daily 1.30pm pelican feeding.

“I wanted to alert families and other regular users of the Ian Dipple swimming area near Charis Seafood of a worrying incident,” a witness posted on Facebook.

The witness said while waiting with families and tour groups to feed pelicans, they saw a man and woman having sex.

“We were in full disbelief,” they said. “The couple were engaging in these sexual acts fully knowing they were being watched from onlookers, many of whom were families with young children.”

The witness claims they were later approached by the male who demanded money saying “they don’t perform for free” - and demanding money.

The male allegedly became verbally abusive, cornering the group as they tried to leave.

“He demanded we instantly hand him our phones or give payment for having watched his so called performance,” they said.

“He continued to state he doesn’t perform for free and people pay him what we just witnessed.”

Visibly shaken, the witness claimed they told the man it was illegal and would provide police footage before running to the Grand Hotel for safety.

“This is a warning for anyone frequenting the lagoon to please keep an eye out for the man as I got the impression he is a regular,” they said.

One commenter said: “People like that just have no respect for themselves or children. There are plenty of private places to do that. It is actually perverted creepy behaviour.”

One woman claimed she saw another shocking act in the same spot last month.

“My young daughter and I caught an old guy masturbating on all fours, inches from some frightened girls right in front of the playground at Charis last month,” they said.

“Place was packed yet not a ‘man’ - in sight only myself who went off at him and called police.”

Earlier this month a woman‘s body was pulled from the swimming spot in what police said was a non-suspicious death.

At 11.20am on March 13 a member of the public discovered the deceased person. The incident is not connected to the alleged indecent acts.

Other concerned locals on social media referred to the watering hole as a “feral” and “putrid pond”.

Public sex in Queensland is illegal, resulting in fines or imprisonment.

A Queensland Police Service spokesperson said they had not received any reports.

“Anyone who witnessed or has information about the matter is encouraged to contact police,” they said.

“In Queensland, engaging in sexual acts in public is an offence. Police will investigate any reported incidents and take appropriate action where required.”
