DECEMBER 11--When it comes to intimate encounters, most people prefer some degree of privacy.

Not Sharon Czaplinsky.

The 45-year-old Florida woman is--for the second time in three months--facing criminal charges for publicly receiving oral favors from a male acquaintance, records show.

Czaplinsky and her partner were named this week in a criminal information charging them with indecent exposure, disorderly intoxication, and engaging in an unnatural and lascivious act in connection with a noon tryst on November 30 in the parking lot of a Winn-Dixie in the Florida Keys.

Responding to a 911 call about “people having sex” outside the Marathon supermarket, a cop found “3 people laying in the parking lot.”

Specifically, Czaplinsky was on her back with her pants down. Marshall Lowery, 43, was atop Czaplinsky and “facing the opposite direction with his head in her vagina area,” according to an arrest report. As a sheriff’s deputy approached the pair, “Lowery was pulling Czaplinsky’s pants further down from the middle,” while she “pulled them down from the sides exposing her vagina to the public.”

Czaplinsky and Lowery were drunk, investigators allege.

While the duo was engaging in the al fresco romp, a second man was “laying next to them with an erect uncovered penis sticking out of his shorts.” Michael Howard, 59, was arrested for indecent exposure and disorderly intoxication.

Czaplinsky, Lowery, and Howard are pictured above.

The three defendants have pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor counts and are scheduled for a December 22 arraignment hearing. Lowery has been released on $3500 bail, while Czaplinsky and Howard remain in custody.

In late-August, Czaplinsky was arrested for a 2:40 AM sexual encounter behind a Tom Thumb gas station in Marathon. Responding to witness reports about cunnilingus “in the car wash area,” a patrolman found a pants-free Czaplinsky with a “male positioned between her legs performing oral sex.” Cops reported that Czaplinsky and Vincent Crews, 61, “admitted that they should not have been engaged in sexual activity in public,” and said they were homeless and had no other place to go.

The duo was “highly intoxicated” and surrounded by several beer cans and a vodka bottle. The Tom Thumb manager wanted to press charges because the suspects were “trashing and disturbing her place of business.”

Czaplinsky and Crews each subsequently pleaded no contest and were adjudged guilty of disorderly conduct. Czaplinsky was placed on probation, while Crews was sentenced to the two weeks he had already served in the county jail. (5 pages)
