A shocked mother of two in New Zealand discovered her husband was having an affair with an office junior only when video of their late-night antics went viral on social media websites.
“She had no idea until she came across it on Facebook on Monday,” a friend of the wife said.
“She’s in pieces and can’t even speak to him.
“Her friends are fuming and rallying round her.”
The cheating senior manager’s hour-long sex romp with a work colleague in her 20s took place in full view of up to 200 people who poured out of a busy pub across the road to watch and take pictures on their mobile phones.
In the heat of their passion, the cavorting couple had forgotten to turn off the lights in their glass-fronted first-floor office in the South Island city of Christchurch.
They were blissfully unaware that their out-of-hours Friday night activities were being “cheered on” by the watching throng outside the Carlton Bar and Eatery.
Even the band abandoned their instruments and joined the crowd after their audience had decamped to the pavement.
The young woman involved was herself reported to be engaged, but a man claiming to be her ex-fiance rang a radio station saying that they had amicably split up recently, before the incident.
Identifying himself only as Josh, he told The Edge talkback station he knew who the man in the video was but had never met him.

“I think for everyone involved it’s quite sad,” he said.
“She’s not that sort of person. It was her first mistake.
“She is a really nice person, she’s lovely. We had an amazing relationship.”
Josh said although they had broken up as a couple, he and the woman still co-owned a property and a dog.
He said he was supposed to meet her on Friday night but she did not turn up.
“She came home late.”
Meanwhile, insurance brokers Marsh Ltd, the pair’s employers, were said to be considering their future.
The two have not turned up for work this week and are not answering their phones. They are understood to be working at separate locations.
A Marsh Ltd spokesman said: “We’re dealing with the matter internally, and that’s all we can say.”
Grant Milne, the company’s chief executive, had earlier said they were treating the incident “very seriously”.
Employment lawyers said it was disputable whether the couple’s out-of-hours activities on company property were justifiable grounds for dismissal.
