This is the first picture of a couple who were pepper-sprayed by police after a barman allegedly caught them having sex in a pub toilet.
Lee Hops, 30, and Hayley McClory, 23, appeared at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court, County Durham, over the incident at the Stanley Jefferson pub, Bishop Auckland.
Hops is charged with a section 4 public order offence and resisting arrest.
McClory is charged with a section 4 public order offence, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.

Pub: The pair are charged with public order offence and resisting arrest following the alleged incident
Both defendants deny the charges, but McClory did admit a charge of criminal damage relating to a police blanket.
Chairman of the bench Kevin Radford granted them unconditional bail and said they would return for a trial at the court in June.
The case comes after footage was revealed earlier this week of a different couple having sex on a subway escalator.
A passer by filmed the x-rated scene, which showed a woman bent over the side of the escalator completely oblivious to the people coming and going.
The couple continue romping before being stopped by a member of the public who kicks the man in a bid to stop the public indecency.
The shocking footage then shows the woman turning round - to reveal a child strapped to her front.
