POLICE have confronted 18 people using a family picnic spot to have sex with strangers in public.
Officers vowed to tackle the problem after residents of Skirlaugh and Coniston repeatedly complained about lewd activity in three lay-bys off the A165, including one close to the Transpennine Trail.
Since making the issue a priority less than one month ago, officers have stopped 18 people at the sites, sometimes during the day.
Although they were not found to be committing any offences, all were issued with a leaflet with guidance on public sex.
There have been no complaints from members of the public since police made it a priority.
East Riding councillor Matthew Grove said: “These are public areas that have been stolen from the community by individuals who are using them in a way they were never intended to be used.
“These are not courting couples, these are large groups of people engaging in behaviour which is simply not acceptable.
“Two of these lay-bys face houses and the other is a popular picnic spot, where families have turned up and seen this intimidating behaviour.
“This is a great example of the police listening to local concerns and I have not had any more complaints since the police got involved. This isn’t something new, it has been going for several years. Something needed to be done.”
Anyone caught committing an offence at the site could face arrest and prosecution for indecent exposure, voyeurism or outraging public decency.
East Riding Council has cut back hedges around the lay-bys to make the areas more visible and deter offenders.
Undercover and uniformed police officers have been used to patrol around the area.
Police said the issue will remain a priority for at least another month.

Extra police patrols are being launched on the A43 after a mother and her young daughter saw naked men performing sex acts in a lay-by.
The woman and her child, aged just four, were on their way back home after visiting friends on the south coast on Sunday when she pulled into the lay-by, near Hannington, at about 2pm to take her dog for a walk.
The 44-year-old says she was left distressed by what she saw.
She said: “We witnessed the horrifying spectacle of several elderly men wandering around naked.
“My daughter was very upset by this.
“We then saw two men having sex in a coppice, and later on, more sexual activity.
“At no point did any of these men attempt to cover up.”
She said another man was performing a sex act in full view of passing traffic.
He said: “My daughter is traumatised by what she witnessed.”
The woman and her husband reported the matter to the police.
In an emailed response, Sgt Mike Grady, of Daventry Rural Safer Community Team, said: “We have long been aware that these lay-bys have been used as a gay meeting place, however, we were not aware that the area was being used beyond initial encounter.
“I will brief my staff to patrol the area and deal with any offences they find.”
The woman’s husband, who has recently moved to Kettering with his family from Wiltshire, said: “As soon as my wife got back to the car she called me on her mobile.
“She told me my daughter was in tears.
“Someone had even left an obscene message on the car windscreen,” he said.
“The whole incident was shocking.”

The county for Reem people tops the charts as popularity in outdoor sex with stranger’s increases
Essex, the home of the vjazzle, Amy Childs and Mark Wright was today crowned the 2011 UK’s number one Dogging hotspot.
Popular website Let’s Go Dogging (http://www.letsgodogging.com) which helps people in the UK search and interact with fellow Dogging enthusiasts has produced a league table showing where all its subscribers were from during 2011 and Essex was top of the pile.
Paul Sharp, the man behind the website and a keen Dogger said “Essex might be known for its glitz and it’s glamour but now we can saw with some authority that reem people love to go Dogging.”
He added “Whilst you might think Dogging is mainly enjoyed on the internet by men our figures showed that Essex also had the highest amount of women signing up too”
Dogging is the popular British euphemism for engaging in sexual acts in a semi-public place and then watching others doing so and some high profile celebrities have been caught in car parks across the country in the past few years. More recently Dogging has spread across Europe and over the Atlantic.

Typically January is not a month you’d associate with prolific Dogging activity especially as the really cold weather begins to kick in across the UK.
Which is why it makes Friday 13th all the more confusing as it has gone down in the history books in Let’s Go Dogging land as the day we had the most people sign up to our website.
Obviously we’re really happy with the news, even though we are already firmly established as the UK’s number one Dogging and Doggers site we continue to grow month on month.

Strangers using a secluded copse near Kirtlington for outdoor sex have been moved on by police.
The practice of meeting strangers for sex in a public place, known as dogging, had been taking place at a small wood along Port Way.
Police took action after a female jogger came across a naked man running out of the copse two months ago.
After an investigation, the man was arrested but released without charge and Kidlington officers began patrolling the area to deter future sexual activities.
Sergeant Colin Travi, of Kidlington police, said: “We have had a few complaints. My officers have made follow-up visits and we have done some patrols out there.
“Those partaking in the activity have been warned not to frequent the area for sexual purposes.”
He added: “If they want to practice some illicit sexual act, they should do so in the privacy of their own home and not in a public place where some people may be offended.”
He said he did not know how long the area had been used as a dogging site.
But he said police visits to the copse have unearthed evidence sexual activity had been going on there, including condoms and messages offering sex.
But Sgt Travi said the site was not a hotspot for dogging.
A 60-year-old Kirtlington resident, who did not want to be named, said: “We have got lots of children and people walking around here and that is not the sort of thing you want to see.”
She said she was pleased the police had taken action over the dogging but said officers had not told residents what was going on.
A 43-year-old Heyford resident, who also did not want to be named, said: “I am a photographer and I quite often stopped there because it is a pretty place.
“When I was there last, there was a lot of evidence of sexual activity. Kirtlington is a very well regarded village, so I am quite surprised this is happening there.”

A little over two years ago we started this website as we’d found it really hard to find a dedicated Dogging site that wasn’t full of fake profiles and scammers.
Although initially it was tough going and we received a lot of negative press attention we perservered and we’re proud to say that we stand head and shoulders above other imposter Dogging sites on the internet (and there are many now!)
We wanted to say a big thank-you to all those we have met along the way and all those that have supported us and we’re looking to kick on in 2012 with a lot of new site features.
So, welcome to 2012 – hope it’s a great new year for you and I hope that Santa bought you all a special Dogging kit … I know I did as I got a new torch,
wet wipes, thermal socks and a spanking new camera.

POLICE have vowed to confront people using a popular family picnic spot to have sex with strangers in public.
Residents of Skirlaugh and Coniston have repeatedly complained about lewd activity in three lay-bys off the A165, including one close to the Transpennine Trail.
People also contacted police believing they had seen a sexual assault at the site.
Now, officers from Humberside Police will challenge those caught “dogging” – indulging in sex with strangers in public places – at the sites.
East Riding councillor Matthew Grove said: “These are large groups of people coming together to commit serious acts of public lewdness.
“If you pull up there with your children for a picnic and encounter some of the things that go on there, that is not nice.
“To individuals that witness this, it is very offensive, but to the wider community, it is an embarrassment.
“The community is up in arms about it and we don’t want this in our area.”
The Mid Holderness neighbourhood policing team has now made tackling the problem one of its priorities for the area.
Undercover and uniformed police officers will be used to patrol around the area.
Anyone caught will be challenged and given police leaflets about public sex environments.
They could also face arrest and prosecution for indecent exposure, voyeurism or outraging public decency.
Mr Grove said East Riding council has recently cut back hedges around the lay-bys to make the areas more visible.
“The lay-bys used to have a lot of wildlife around them, but have been having a different kind of wildlife.
“It is a very difficult problem to deal with. We have removed all the undergrowth to make the areas very visible. Most of them have been severely trimmed. However, it tends to move the problem somewhere else.”
He said the police were now responding to the concerns raised by the community.
“Hopefully that will act as a deterrent,” he said.
“The residents don’t like the fact the area is being used for these purposes. It is not something to be proud of.
“We are not talking about individuals causing problems here. These are locations that are marketed on the internet and targeted for undertaking these activities.”
One of the lay-bys includes a picnic area along the Transpennine Trail, a walking route popular with families.
The locations are advertised on “dogging” websites as a place for sexual encounters, along with a car park at Hessle Foreshore.

MICHAEL Fassbender has been teaching Hollywood “dogging” techniques.
The Inglorious Basterds actor plays a wealthy and handsome sex addict in new movie Shame but from his observations back home in the UK, believes money and looks are no barrier when it comes to finding multiple partners.
“If you’re addicted to gambling, you know where to go to gamble,” explains Michael.
“So, if you have a condition where you’re addicted to sex, you know where others that are looking for the same thing are going. I don’t think it necessarily comes down to looks. It’s a common interest. In England, there was a phenomenon there that was this dogging scenario. People basically parked in car-parks around the country and had sex. You’d park a car, meet a stranger and have sex with them. So, people that are into that know where the car-parks are.”
