In full view of the public.
However, it all may not be as simple as all that. First of all, a bunch of drugs were involved. I mean, no shit (read the story). You'll also notice that the judge who bailed her forbade her to return within 100m of Latimer Square, and said:
"If you work, I would prefer you work in the more open area of Manchester Street, rather than (Latimer) square."
Latimer Square, which has a reputation as being used by young people hooking for trade. Work as in hooking. Manchester Street as in the "red-light" district.
So what we're really talking about is a party with drugs and hookers in the middle of the afternoon, which spilled out of the hotel room/apartment it was being held in and onto the balcony.
Umm:
1. Isn't 17 a bit young for a girl to be working as a prostitute? I'd have to check the law, but surely the legal age is at least 18?
2. Either way, I trust that young Lorna is in no way being exploited, abused, coerced or otherwise forced against her will into any "group sex on balconies in the middle of the afternoon".
3. Who the hell does Christchurch think it is? Las Vegas?
POSTSCRIPT
Lorna was picked up in Latimer Square again on Friday, and held in custody over the weekend (Poor wee mite! All that noise! All that piss and vomit!). This time the judge has given her a 7pm to 7am curfew. Not that that's gonna get in the way of any more group sex on balconies in the middle of the afternoon.
Which is just as well, and for that one really has to say, Praise the Lord. If there's one thing I think we can all agree on, it's that there should be more group sex on balconies in the middle of the afternoon. In fact, in answer to the ubiquitous question "What Does Wellington Need", I really only have one answer: "group sex on balconies in the middle of the afternoon".
Awesome.
I wonder if council community-project funding could be arranged.

Llew: love it! Will have to add that to the (un)official Dogger's Delight location list.
Anon: this story on the TV3 site.
Yes it is a regular feature around the Latimer Square area. Keep them around St Luke's on Manchester eh blond bimbo Lady Jane New Judge .The father looked sad in Court . Tim Barnett whore law eh ? Work girls work !!!
Hmmm the never-ending supply of good ole Christchurch bigots. Since dad4justice claims to be a paralegal surely he's aware of what sort of justice was served up for underage workers and their clients in pre-Barnett days.
It's completely insane what the judge said; it's amazing the case was even heard - she must've had the worst lawyer in the world. It'll be interesting to see what the men get convicted of and if LCHH can get the conviction overturned. -HN
"It's completely insane what the judge said;"
Judge Jane Farish is a recent addition to the judicial bar . She was a police crown law prosecutor before that ?
