In a surprising incident in Iúna, Espírito Santo, Brazil, a couple was filmed having sexual intercourse on the staircase of the local court, with the footage recorded by a neighboring resident and subsequently shared on social media. The event occurred on Saturday, November 7, a day when the court was closed for business. The State Court (TJES) confirmed the occurrence and stated that the site is accessible to the public, indicating that anyone could have witnessed the act.

The TJES investigated the situation and determined that neither of the individuals involved are employees of the judiciary, which seems to mitigate any repercussions for court staff. Following the incident, the court authorities forwarded the footage to the local Civil Police (PCES) for a potential criminal investigation into the matter. The police announced that the Iúna Police Station has initiated an inquiry into the incident, examining whether any criminal behaviors occurred due to the nature of the public display of affection.

As part of their investigation, law enforcement reviewed security camera footage from both the court and the municipal monitoring system. This incident has sparked discussions on public decency and the boundaries of private behavior in public spaces, highlighting societal attitudes towards public displays of intimacy, especially in places typically associated with law and order. The eventual outcomes of the investigation might also prompt conversations about legal definitions of public indecency and how such actions are perceived and prosecuted in Brazil.
