Occupational therapist arrested after having drunken sex on a park bench near a playground – because 12-year-old phoned police

Occupational therapist Lilia Feddag received a 12-month caution order for professional misconduct after having sex with a man on a park bench near a playground in Arnold, Nottinghamshire. The incident was reported to police by a 12-year-old girl and matters because other children were nearby and the conduct led to a professional disciplinary hearing.

The incident took place on 5 May 2024 at King George V Recreation Ground, beside Arnold View Primary School. Feddag accepted a police caution for outraging public decency and told the panel that excessive drinking had affected her judgement; she expressed remorse and said she was abstinent. The panel decided suspending her would be disproportionate, and issued the caution order to allow her to reflect and prevent a repeat.
