Man had sex with his wife on bollard after fuming neighbour placed it in cul-de-sac in protest during parking row | The Sun
A MAN had sex with his wife on a bollard after a fuming neighbour placed it on their street during a bitter parking row, a court heard.
Lee Craig McConnell, 28, first started masturbating on his cul-de-sac before calling his wife over.
But he didn't know his neighbour had CCTV – and caught the romp on camera.
While McConnell says he didn't intend for anyone to see, he has ended up in court over the matter.
Things first kicked off after the 28-year-old parked his vehicle and a campervan on the Dorset street on multiple occasions.
This saw other neighbours struggle to find a place to park, and all came to a head when McConnell nicked another resident's spot.

The court heard his actions “led to some tension and arguments” and the neighbour felt forced to put a bollard in place to prevent McConnell parking there again.
But, in the weeks that followed the bollard was said to be pushed over and tampered with, so the neighbour installed CCTV.
She snapped McConnell pushing the bollard over on two occasions – but she also captured more than that.
Prosecutor Richard Withey told the Weymouth Magistrates’ Court: “What did happen on October 26, but it was not known until the day after, is she had seen him masturbate outside the front of his house and had sexual intercourse with his wife over the bollard.”

Referring to the CCTV footage, he continued: “It clearly shows the defendant facing the camera and masturbating.
"He appears to be talking and she (McConnel’s wife) is wearing some sort of gown, who then walks towards the bollard, goes over the bollard and engages in that (sexual) act.
"He finishes and walks into the house.”
The neighbour didn't see what happened until she watched the footage back the next day.
But, when she did, she was “completely disgusted” and felt the act was meant to “shock and intimidate me”.
However, defence lawyer Simon Lacey said this was not the case.
He said McConnell was left "embarrassed" by the ordeal, adding: “He had no idea cameras were there.
"It wasn't deliberate and not to humiliate the neighbour. It was clearly inappropriate for something that happened.
“He has come and pleaded guilty at the very first opportunity. It is fair to say the neighbour was only made aware of it when she was told about it."
Mr Lacey continued: “The whole thing is a disaster. All the neighbours are turned against him and his wife and they are moving away.
“All they are doing is removing themselves from a very difficult situation. It is sad and this is a man who is trying to bring up a family and work.
