A man who performed a 10-minute sex act on another man in public has been fined by magistrates.
Shocked witnesses, including a 90-year-old woman, saw the act take place in a Sunderland park in broad daylight, and one described how she felt "physically sick and disgusted".
Robert Spence, 45, has been fined by magistrates after he pleaded guilty to carrying out the indecent act.
Sunderland Magistrates' Court was told that at about 3pm on July 1, an 18-year-old care worker saw the defendant and another man entering bushes near the residential home.
A 90-year-old resident then rang a buzzer in her room and told the young carer she could see "two men in the bushes kissing each other".
The assistant manager of the home was called and a group reported seeing a 10-minute sex act carried out by Spence, before officers arrived on the scene.
In a statement read out to the court, the carer said: "I felt physically sick and disgusted from what I'd seen."
Spence initially told police he drank cider with the man and then took him to an area where he knew they could go to sleep.
He denied the offence and exercised his legal right for a crown court trial.
However, he changed his plea to guilty, saying he could not remember anything from that afternoon.
The court heard how the former Royal Mail worker was "disgusted" by the incident, which led him to turn his life around.
Spence spiralled into alcoholism after losing his job through ill health.
Downing a bottle of whisky a day, he ignored mounting debts until his home was repossessed.
Living on the streets, he became a target because of his pension, was regularly assaulted and had items stolen from him by other homeless people.
It was said that shortly after this offence, he was admitted to hospital and subsequently reduced his alcohol intake.
Spence, of Tatham Street, in Sunderland, pleaded guilty to outraging public decency and absconding and was fined £64, with £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
He was also given a nine-month community order, with supervision.
The second man, Darren Nixon, was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison at Houghton Magistrates' Court in December.
The 24-year-old pleaded guilty to offences of outraging public decency, stealing lager from Netto, assault, stealing a pedal bike, a theft from a sports shop, and breach of a conditional discharge for being drunk and disorderly.
