A shamed young woman has been banned from going out at night after carrying out a sex act on her boyfriend - in a McDonald's car park.
Lisa Gray, 28, was spotted with her feet poking out of the driver's window as she performed a sex act on boyfriend Rhys Higgins, 24, at 4.30am in the drive-thru car park.
And a judge blasted their "animalistic lust" after hearing how McDonald's staff just feet away witnessed their acts.
A court heard Graypulled up in her small yellow Fiat 500 at 4.30am after a night drinking with boyfriend Higgins.
Prosecutor Craig Jones said the couple then began to "kiss and embrace each other" in the car after being kept waiting outside the collection window.
Mr Jones said: "Gray put her hands into Higgins lap just yards away from staff. She received encouragement from Mr Higgins to perform a sex act.
"She stretched herself onto him and then proceeded to put her legs through the driver's window to free up more space.
"Mr Higgins mounted up on top of her and performed a (sex act) on her.
"That behaviour carried on during a 20-minute CCTV video at the scene."
Swansea Crown Court heard he Higgins was in the front passenger seat as they pulled up for the drive-thru at Morriston, Swansea.
But they were kept waiting because of a fault with the grill - and Gray began honking her horn and shouting at staff.
The court heard it was clear to McDonald's staff that both were "heavily intoxicated".
Horrified staff called police who arrived at 4.50am to breathalyse Gray - but she was just below the legal drink-drive limit.
Mr Jones said: "Staff who witnessed the incident were left feeling sick and disgusted from what they saw that night."
John Hipkin, defending, said Gray claimed an ashtray had spilled in the footwell of her car - and she bent down to pick up dropped cigarette ends.
Mr Hipkin said: "She can't provide an explanation as how a woman of her character became involved in an act such as this."
Mother-of-one Gray, wearing a grey and black dress, pleaded guilty to a charge of lewd, obscene and disgusting nature in a public place in a restaurant car park on May 6.
Higgins refused to comment when interviewed by police. Higgins, wearing a white T-shirt, smirked as the same charge was read out - and said: "Guilty."
Judge Paul Thomas QC said: "Your animalistic lust led to two of you to lose any shred of dignity and self-respect.
"The two of you turned yourself and your car into a human zoo. Your act led to the disgust and horror of staff who had been a matter of feet away from what you were doing.
"It wasn't just something that happened in the spur of the moment as it carried on for 20 minutes.
"You are both now adults in your mid-twenties and you should have grown up by now."
The two, both of Swansea, were given four months jail but suspended for 12 months - but would be put behind bars if they offend again.
Gray was put under a four-month curfew to stay indoors from 9pm to 7am. Higgins was also sent on an alcohol rehabilitation course. Each were ordered to pay £900 costs.
Judge Thomas said: "You have come very close to losing your liberty."
The couple live just a few miles for another couple found guilty of outraging public decency by performing a "repulsive" sex act in the middle of a crowded BBC 2 concert in Hyde Park.
Concertgoers were appalled after Lisanne Beck, 47, performed oral sex on her 48-year-old boyfriend Simon Murphy while Paloma Faith performed to the Festival in a Day crowd.
One disgusted observer filmed the lewd incident on his mobile phone while parents had to shield their children from the sight.
Judge Charles Wide QC fined the couple £1,000 each after their Old Bailey trial.
