WAUKESHA — A 67-year-old woman and her 28-year-old boyfriend are accused of having sexual contact in the SMÌìµØÂÛ̳ County Jail lobby. Karen Hill and Desmound Cleveland were charged in SMÌìµØÂÛ̳ County Circuit Court with disorderly conduct Friday. If convicted, they both face 90 days in jail. A $1,000 signature bond was set for both of them and they entered not guilty pleas. They have a court date of June 3.

A SMÌìµØÂÛ̳ County Sheriff’s deputy was dispatched to the jail lobby, 515 W. Moreland Blvd., on Thursday for a possible disorderly conduct/lewd and lascivious call that happened in the jail overnight. A jail supervisor called to report two people had sex in the jail lobby and the woman, later identified as Hill, was still on the scene, the criminal complaint said.

Video surveillance around 3 a.m. showed two people allegedly engaged in sexual acts. The video allegedly showed Cleveland and Hill in the northwest corner of the public lobby of the jail "creating a bed." He is seen taking a floor mat from one side of the room and placing it in a corner where they planned on sleeping, the complaint said.

Cleveland put his jacket over them to use as a blanket and later the two are captured on surveillance committing sexual acts. The complaint said no one else was in the lobby until after the incident.

Hill was questioned by a deputy. She said her boyfriend of five years, Cleveland, came over to hang out with her at a boarding house. They both went outside to have a cigarette and were locked out. Hill was told she wasn’t allowed to have guests, the complaint said.

Hill said the police department was called and she was allowed to grab her and Cleveland’s belongings. At that time, they walked to the jail lobby and took a nap. She admitted to having sex and it was consensual, the complaint said.

Hill said she tried to cover them both up with articles of clothing so no one would see them.

The deputy made contact with Cleveland who was still in the lobby as well. He was asked about the incident to which he replied, "Sex happens" and admitted he knew there were cameras, the complaint said.
