College Station police have a reminder for anyone considering having sex in a public place: It's a crime of public lewdness.
Two teens were arrested over the weekend after they had sex at an elementary school playground, officials said.
"Whenever you're in a public place, even if it seems private, there's always a chance that someone can walk up on you," Master Officer Rhonda Seaton said.
A resident called police around 7:30 p.m. Saturday to report that she had seen two teens having sex on a playground at College Hills Elementary. Police stopped a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl as they were walking away from the school, officers said.
The two admitted having sex twice in the park that day and discarding a used condom nearby, according to police reports. A teacher from the school who saw the teens told police she had approached them and cleared her throat to make them leave, officials said.
The female teen, who was released from the Brazos County Jail on $4,000 bail Saturday, told police that she and the boy had engaged in sexual acts on school grounds on other occasions. The male teen told police that "he understood and was sorry for the behavior," reports state.
The two were charged with public lewdness, a class A misdemeanor with a maximum punishment of a $2,000 fine and 180 days in jail.

The whole time I've been at A&M I've wanted to do it on the back porch of the Dixie Chicken. So you're telling me that's illegal?

I wish more teenagers felt like you do. Obviously you're learning it somewhere. I'm 42 years old, and tired of paying for uneducated, underaged kids to have more kids. What's sad is that these people are having kids, when they themselves don't have the education and lifestyle they need to responsibly raise a child. I DO blame the media...they're making it so glamorous to have a baby these days...it's like Paris Hilton's pet chihuahua...it's more of a fashion accessory than a human life.

Yeah, but at least if it were in Bryan instead of College Station, it would involve someone having sex at a playground at knifepoint. I have lived in both Bryan and College Station, and I can tell you I never felt safe in Bryan. Gosh, if I were picking a place to have sex in public, it wouldn't be Bryan!

What makes you think these kids WEREN'T taught abstinence? That has been the official policy of both College Station ISD and Bryan ISD for over a decade. If anything, this should demonstrate the futility of abstinence education.

Actually I was born in Texas...but I guess the people in my hometown are just a little classier. Thank you very much for pointing out that they were using a condom as if I couldn't read, but I was trying to make a point in general. I don't have the right to say they shouldn't have sex at all, I guess I just have better morals for myself than that. Well, have fun with those bananas...I'm sure you will.

Comment Title: Another 21 year old
To the 21 year old talking about abstinence: Open you eyes, these kids were using a condom. Meaning they know a little better than to have unprotected sex. We ALL have sexual urges. You can not blind fold kids and "say suppress your urge". Teach them about it. One of the reasons kids get pregnant now a days is because of people like you who confuse the hell out of these kids when they are learning about life by not properly educating them. You don't want them to learn at school yet you don't want to teach them beyond saying "don't have sex." They aren't idiots and they need to PROPERLY LEARN.

Kids these days. Back in MY day, we waited until it was dark before having sex in public.

" A teacher from the school who saw the teens told police she had approached them and cleared her throat to make them leave," Maybe that's the cheap answer to all of our problems. Let's just all go out in public and clear our throats. All the bad folks will leave.

To the 21 year old: You are wise beyond your years. Someone (or you yourself) has taught you well. Thank you for your post. Hopefully your good influence rubs off on your friends!

This is ridiculous what this generation of teens has become. I’m 21 years old and I know better than to act that trashy especially in a public place where children play! What bothers me the most is that these teenagers think that they can have sex without consequences…and that isn’t true at all. Every school has programs and health classes about unprotected sex, but what about teaching them not to have sex at all? All these celebrities now get pregnant before getting married and show the world that it’s ok for them to have babies without being married…but the truth is that they do it because they can afford it. When are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt going to get married? Probably never. So how will the children turn out when they break up? How about Jamie Lynn Spears…instead of giving the media excuses like “being a mother is the greatest feeling ever” the issue of her having unprotected sex was never even discussed. This isn’t teaching our younger generations anything because they will do the same as their parents. How hard is it to use a condom?…and birth control is certainly cheaper than raising a baby, but then people assume they can just let Medicaid take care of it. Why should I have to pay to raise other people’s children when I’ve been at work all day instead of having unprotected sex. I’m tired of money being taken out of my paycheck because I’m responsible. When I’m married and ready to have a baby are these people going to help pay for mine? I’m gonna guess no. I don’t think the question should be “why were these young kids having sex in public?”…it should be “why did these kids think they were responsible to have sex at all?”

Let me guess...It's summer and they were bored? This is what happens when parents are not involved in their children's life!

OMG this didn't happen in College Station? I guess all of the playgrounds at the elementary schools in Bryan were occupied. Thank you College Station for being our neighbor.

Kyle: "If it was a 17 year old male and 16 year old female, they would be booking him for statutory." Check your statutes again, Texas now honors the "Romeo/Juliet" law which says as long as the two are within three years of age its legal.

just want to say, not all young kids wipe correctly and do touch everything, not including, putting their hands in their mouth, so technically, under the right condition, it could be caught

An elementary playground is such a romantic place! Believe it or not I have heard of school administrators having to deal with kids doing it in the school restroom stalls. What a a nice romatic place that is..... the view, the sweet smell of urine on the floor, etc......

Comment Title: Scarlet letter
A suitable punishment: Make them each wear a scarlet letter for a day while they clean and disinfect the playground. It might dissuade their friends from such future adventures.

Comment Title: it rained
hey dont worry what ever kind of germs they left behind was washed away from the rain.. i think the teens should cleaned the playground with wash raggs that would of been a good puishment

Comment Title: Bowen Elementary Park
We found a used condom when we took our children to slide at Bowen Elementary's park. There were several beer cans at the swings and slides. It's becoming dangerous to take our kids anywhere now days.

Come on Katrina. STDs CANNOT be transmitted just by touching something. I learned this in middle school!

Comment Title: Safe Sex or Not
Even if they DID use a condom, if she had something it would probably still end up on the playground equipment which in return is played on by our children. What these teens done is something that should get them jail time. Yes, I'm not saying that I didn't have sex as a teen, but I kept it in cars or beds when parents weren't home. I mean, a school playground? Are the monkeybars really that sexy?

Comment Title: THEY SHOULD BE FINED?
Heavy fine? you got to be kidding, how many teen age kids do you know that have 2 pennies to rub together , much less money for a fine. The parents would end up paying the fine , why punish the parents for this, community service clenaing parks and playgrounds of used condoms might better
