Samantha Truslove was jailed for 28 weeks

Samantha Truslove, 26, had sex with her 37-year-old partner Peter Walker on the back seats as they were too excited to wait to get home.

The court heard she met up with her new boyfriend just hours after he was released from prison on January 6 this year.

Truslove, who has an ASBO, and her partner engaged in the illicit act on a single-decker bus as school children made their way home.

Dudley Magistrates Court heard three children aged just eight and nine witnessed the whole incident and their parents had to divert their attention away from the couple.

Prosecutor Linda Gudgeon said: "It was school leaving time and two eight-year-old boys and a nine-year-old girl saw and had to have their eyes averted.

"One mother said she has had to have a discussion with her child about it several times since."

Ms Truslove, from Dudley, West Midlands, has been jailed for 28 weeks after pleading guilty to outraging public decency.

Walker, also of Dudley, appeared in the dock separately and was jailed for 17 weeks after he also admitted the charge.

Jailing Walker, District Judge Wilkinson told him: "You left prison on January 6 knowing that if you committed an offense you would go back to prison.

The incident occurred on a West Midlands bus similar to this one

"You didn't even wait until you got home to commit an offense.
"You went straight out and consumed alcohol, had sexual intercourse in full sight of all people wondering by including children."

In 2013 Truslove was given an ABSO banning her from the borough of Sandwell, West Midlands, after she and a former partner made neighbor's lives a misery with their drunken behavior.

She was also charged with breaching the order and for being drunk and abusive towards police within the boundaries of where she was not allowed to be. During Thursday's hearing, the court heard Truslove had breached the terms of the ASBO several times since it was imposed three years ago.
