28-Year-Old, 67-Year-Old Accused of Having Sex In Jail Lobby

A man and woman who have nearly 40 years between their age face disorderly conduct charges for having sex in the lobby of the Waukesha County Jail.

Accused to the criminal complaint, a sheriff's deputy was dispatched to the Waukesha County Jail lobby on May 2nd, for a possible disorderly conduct/lewd and lascivious call. The jail supervisor "called to report two individuals had sex in jail lobby" and that the female, who was later identified as defendant Karen Hill, was still on scene.

The deputy was able to obtain video surveillance of the incident that happened around 3am that Thursday. It showed "two individuals in the jail lobby engaged in sexual acts," the complaint says.

The deputy contacted Hill who indicated Cleveland was her boyfriend and they intended to hang out at a boarding house, but they got locked out of it. They walked themselves to the jail lobby and took a nap.

"Defendant Hill did admit that they had sexual intercourse and that it was consensual." Hill indicated "she tried to cover both of them up with articles of clothing so no one would see them," the complaint says. The complaint explains the pair have been dating for five years.

When the deputy questioned Cleveland about what happened, the complaint says Cleveland told him "sex happens." Cleveland also said he knew there were cameras.

Hill and Cleveland made their initial appearances in Waukesha County court on the disorderly conduct on May 3rd, each given a signature bond of $1,000.

The incident highlights an area that a Waukesha County supervisor said the county is lacking in.

"They didn't believe they had any authority to remove somebody, given the current laws and current state or ordinances," said Waukesha County Supervisor Peter Wolff.

"If they're there, and they have a legitimate business purpose for being there, that's no problem," Wolff said, "But if somebody's staying, camping out or doing anything beyond what would normally be business, that's the purpose of it."

Wolf says he plans to introduce the loitering ordinance later in May.
