The child, who did not join the couple in the sexual act, complied. Another video shows the woman, referred to as B2 in court documents, topless in a toilet. Her boyfriend and son were nearby.
On Oct 15, the 34-year-old man, identified as B1, was sentenced to 12 weeks' jail. He had pleaded guilty to one count of engaging in a sexual activity in the presence of a minor below 16 years old. A second similar charge was considered during sentencing.
The relationship between the man and the boy is unclear.
One set of court documents says he is the boy's father, but another set states that the man was the mother's boyfriend who had treated the child as his own son.
