Man who had revenge sex with wife on neighbour's bollard forced to pay her £250
A man who had sex with his wife over a bollard in a bizarre act of revenge on his neighbour was today ordered to pay her compensation for the distress he caused.
Lee McConnell fell out with pensioner Wendie Bryant after she erected the metal post to stop him parking his VW campervan in her space.
Tensions between the two households rose before McConnell, 28, made the extraordinary move to shock Mrs Bryant and husband Colin one night last October.
He was caught on CCTV emerging from his house wearing nothing but a pair of flip-flops.
He and his partner Dani then had sex up against the downpipe on the outside wall of their home before McConnell walked across to Mrs Bryant's parking space.

He carried out a sex act before beckoning his wife to join him and the couple then had sex over the 2ft tall bollard.
McConnell was caught on CCTV (BNPS)They were heard and seen by shocked residents living in the otherwise quiet cul-de-sac in Blandford, Dorset.
The lewd act went on for three minutes before the McConnells went back indoors.
Mrs Bryant, 68, was oblivious to the incident and only found out about it when a neighbour told her the next day.
The pensioner looked back through her CCTV footage and was so shocked by what she saw she had to go to the doctors to get medication to deal with her anxiety.
She called the police who arrested McConnell for indecent exposure.
Shocked neighbours, Wendie Bryant and her husband Colin (BNPS)He admitted the charge at a previous appearance at Weymouth Magistrates' Court and was today ordered to pay his neighbour £250 for the distress she had been put through.
The couple were so ashamed by the lewd act they have put their semi-detached house on the market.
The court heard the McConnells moved to Meadow View in Blandford over two years ago.
The problems arose when McConnell started to park his VW Transporter campervan in Mrs Bryant's designated parking space.

Siobhan Oxley, prosecuting, said: "The victim and the defendant are neighbours and there is a strained relationship.
"Mrs Bryant has an allocated parking space outside the defendant's house.
"On September 23, she noticed the defendant had parked his VW Campervan on the parking space she lets her neighbour have use of.
"She asked the partner of the defendant if she could pass on the message not to do it again.
Mrs Bryant installed a bollard to prevent anyone parking in her space (BNPS)"That day, the defendant knocked on her door and accused her of upsetting his newborn baby.
"This prompted her to buy a drop parking bollard at a cost of £72 to put on her parking space.
"Between October 6-10, there was damage to the bollard.
"It prompted Mrs Bryant to install a CCYV camera which covers her parking space.
"On October 27, at 8am an upset neighbour told Mrs Bryant she witnessed the defendant and his partner having sex outside the night before.
Neighbours in the quiet cul-de-sac saw McConnell in the act (BNPS)"She checked the CCTV footage which showed at 11.11pm the defendant was standing on the parking space completely naked other than a pair of flip flops and he appeared to be talking to someone else.
"Mrs Bryant then sees the partner of the defendant come out and she kisses the defendant and they then engage in sex behind the bollard.
"It caused Mrs Bryant considerable distress and she was prescribed medication to deal with the anxiety."
Simon Lacey, mitigating, said it was a 'one off' offence and the defendant was planning to move away from the cul de sac as the neighbours had shunned them.
He said: "It is a one off offence and the defendant has not spoken to Mrs Bryant since.

McConnell, who has one previous conviction for a driving offence, was given an 18 month community order, ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work, and told to pay £250 compensation to Mrs Bryant, £85 costs and a £114 victim surcharge.
Magistrate chair Frederick Fearn said: "This offence is serious enough for us to make a community order."
Afterwards Mrs Bryant said she 'could not understand' what her neighbours did that night and that she has since received a letter of apology from Mrs McConnell.
She said: "I just don't understand what he did that night. How the hell did it get to this?

McConnell says he plans to move away from the street (Graham Hunt/BNPS)"I didn't see it that night but a neighbour saw it happening live and told me the next morning so then I checked the CCTV.
"There were people walking past in the street at the time and some of the neighbours got the live performance.
"My first thought was what an idiot. I don't know what they were thinking."
A female neighbour was awoken by noises made by the McConnells and looked out of her bedroom window to find them having sex.
She said: "I was in bed and could hear noises so I looked out my bedroom window and they were having sex. It carried on for 20 minutes.
"I couldn't believe it. It's disgusting what they did."
