I have to wonder: Would the same thing happen to a woman caught in flagrante delicto with a dildo or banana?

Yes they do. But it seems a bit ludicrous to claim that he wanted the cleaners to walk in on him when he was behind a locked door. Seems to me like he had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

I still don't understand what he was doing with the bike. Pics?

As far as I know, bicycles have no holes (large enough for you know what).

There's more to sex than that. You're just sooooo heteronormative. Foreplay, Dis, Foreplay.

For your information, I lived in the UK for 11 years and currently live in the US.

I held that opinion long before watching Sicko.

What part of a bicycle could someone possibly have coitus with?

What idiot, hearing someone knocking on the door then using a key to get in, would not have stopped doing that and run into the bathroom?

Doctors may not enter into sexual relations with patients, even former patients, however no board of medicine would intervene against a doctor having an extramarital affair with someone not his patient unless he were convicted of a felony as a result.

The people writing that ruling for the diocese of Sydney don't seem to have a clear concept of English law. If English law is similar to American law, which is based on the same principles, then there's no difference in English law between a charge being unproven and being completely cleared.

Hah I noticed a funny title of another news story:

Firemen reprimanded for disturbing gay sex act

I think that the 'disturbing' is superfluous .

If Australia's libel laws are similar to Britain's, then people put on that list could file suit.

I was thinking a similar thing. Once someone can show harm from being falsely labelled a lawsuit is sure to follow.

Three years probation for the poor guy. What a shameful display of waste and injustice.

That's right, cops can't stop you when you are having sex. There was this old example, what if a couple is having sex on a grave stone, that's illegal for sure, so can they stop the act? No. They would have to wait until they're finished and then arrest them for ... the dead laws I don't know.

There's a famous case, Regina v. Brown (1994) where several men in the UK had engaged in S&M practices in the privacy of their homes, and with full consent.

The House of Lords still found that there was enough of a state interest in preventing perverse and immoral acts to punish them, even though there was full consent and the acts happened in private.

To be fair, though, even America's individualist laws still roll back on privacy rights in some cases. For example, you might argue that a prostitute operates with full consent and generally in the privacy of the bedroom, but the law is still quite happily allowed to make that behavior illegal.

(It doesn't help, however, when Justice Scalia starts ranting about immoral behavior, wherein he lumps masturbation, adultery, and fornication in the same sentence alongside several much more serious offenses like rape, incest, and bestiality, etc.)
