Viral videos of a couple having sex in full view of hundreds of stunned bystanders in Concert Square were today slammed as "damaging and criminal" by Liverpool's mayor.
Numerous clips taken by different sources show the man and woman having sex just yards from drinkers in the popular nightspot and the entrance to Einstein Bier Haus. The pair do not seem fazed when members of the public approach and begin filming on their phones.
Footage also shows the couple having sex in Bold Street and what appears to be a Merseyrail train.

The videos began circulating on social media early on Tuesday to reactions ranging from amusement to disgust, with commentators dubbing the woman "Concert Square girl". Today Mayor Joanne Anderson shared her anger at the behaviour of the couple and said she had been liaising with Merseyside Police.
Mayor Anderson tweeted: "I am extremely shocked and concerned at videos circulating showing acts of indecent exposure and sexual activity in our city. This isn’t amusing – it’s disturbing, damaging and an illegal act.
"It also sets a dangerous precedent for the young women & men of our city. Let me be clear – this is a criminal offence. Acts of indecent behaviour in public places in Liverpool is simply unacceptable and will not be tolerated. I have spoken with Merseyside Police and requested immediate and appropriate action."
An Instagram account appearing to belong to the woman in the video states she is an "adult content creator", using the website Only Fans, which is known for providing a platform for sex workers or adult performers to post videos and photos for paying subscribers.
The Instagram profile even includes #ConcertSquaregirl in its bio.
Merseyside Police confirmed the incident had been reported to the force.
