Police first starting getting calls at around 1pm on Saturday from alarmed parents who had witnessed the trio taking part in sex acts within clear sight of the children’s play area in the Emperatriz María de Austria park in the Carabanchel district of Madrid.

By the time police arrived at the scene, the group had moved on but were located nearby sleeping in the grass.

The National Police confirmed that they had arrested an 18-year-old woman and two men, aged 19 and 29 for exhibitionism.

El Mundo reported that the trio were all local residents and had been partying all night long before finding their way to the park and may have been under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

“They were quite close to us and were going at it without any kind of discretion,” one mother at the playground told the newspaper. “It caught the attention of those nearby.”

France taken to European Court over divorce ruling that woman had ‘marital duty’ to have sex with husband

A case has been brought against France at the European Court of Human Rights by a woman who lost a divorce case after judges ruled against her because she refused to have sex with her husband.

The woman, who has not been named, has brought the case with the backing of two French feminist groups, arguing that the French court ruling contravened human rights legislation by “interference in private life” and “violation of physical integrity”.

It comes after a ruling in the Appeals Court in Versailles which pronounced a fault divorce in 2019 because of her refusal to have sex with her husband.

The court ruled that the facts of the case “established by the admission of the wife, constitute a serious and renewed violation of the duties and obligations of marriage making intolerable the maintenance of a shared life”.

Feminist groups Fondation des femmes (Women’s Foundation) and Collectif féministe contre le viol (Feminist Collective against Rape) have backed her appeal, deploring the fact that French justice “continues to impose the marital duty” and “thus denying the right of women to consent or not to sexual relations”.

“Marriage is not and should not be a sexual servitude,” the joint statement says, pointing out that in 47 percent of the 94,000 recorded rapes and attempted rapes per year, the aggressor is the spouse or ex-spouse of the victim.
