A promiscuous pair have got off with a warning after being sprung having sex in a public interview room at the Waitakere District Court this week.
Word swept swiftly around court staff on Tuesday after a supervisor found a man and woman getting overly friendly in a room easily accessible to the public.
District courts northern regional manager Nicky McKinney said the couple were being sexually intimate but would not confirm they were having sex.
However, a court staff member told the Herald on Sunday that the couple were well past first base.
"They were doing something they shouldn't have been ... fornicating," she said.
