Busted! Photos of Unfaithful Couple Caught Having Office Sex Go Viral

Two Christchurch office workers who were caught having sex in the office are said to be committed to other people.The employees of insurance firm Marsh Ltd, in the city centre, left the office lights on last Friday, allowing drinkers at a pub across the road to see their hour-long romp.

Photos and footage of their antics soon made its way on to social media and have been broadcast in New Zealand and around the world.

A source today told NZME. News Service that the man involved in the incident is married and holds a senior management position at the firm. He was not answering his work mobile today.

The woman, understood to be in her 20s and recently engaged, has since deleted her Facebook page.

Employment law experts say the couple could lose their jobs over the incident, while the Privacy Commissioner John Edwards told Radio New Zealand that it was unlikely they would be able to sue for breach of privacy.

 Leah Bates, 25, was up from Timaru, catching up for a drink with a friend, her sister and her partner, when the "show" started.

On her way back from the toilet, she wondered why everyone was looking outside.

"We looked out the window and it was all go. Everyone in the whole place was watching," she said.

"They had absolutely no idea - it was brilliant. We went upstairs and watched from the balcony, and everyone was cheering -- especially when he dropped her on the floor - twice. Everyone just lost it.They turned and faced the window and everyone was cheering and waving but they obviously couldn't see us. It was pretty funny, a bit of a show for the night. Everyone was pretty impressed with how long he lasted. He went for ages."

Most pub patrons were using their phones to take photos or film the performance.

Ms Bates now says she feels sorry for the pair and hopes they don't lose their jobs.

"They didn't look like a couple. It was way too passionate for that."

 Patrons of Carlton Bar and Eatery who witnessed the romp said they cheered the couple on. Even the band stopped playing to allow more than 50 pub-goers to take in the show.

"The entire bar united in cheering them on," said one witness on social network Reddit.

"It started with a casual flirt. Then the kiss, grabbing the attention of all. Get it, son! Finally they moved to the back of them room, thinking they were unseen. Off comes the tights, down goes his head. By this stage, 50 bar patrons were pressed up against the window yelling their approval.

"To be honest, after watching them f*** for a good half hour, people started to get bored and drift off back to the dancefloor."
