A man and woman in their 40s have been charged with sexual harassment following an incident at Stockholm's Gröna Lund amusement park last summer, according to court documents from Södertörns District Court. The couple allegedly engaged in sexual activity while riding the "Kärlekstunneln" (Love Tunnel) attraction, with the incident reportedly captured by eight surveillance camera angles.

The ride attendant, who witnessed the events via the park's monitoring system, told investigators she suffered "a fairly extreme panic attack" and was left "crying and shaking" after the incident. According to the Göteborgs-Posten report, the attendant repeatedly used the attraction's loudspeaker system to ask the couple to stop their activities.

Children were reportedly present in boats behind the couple during the incident. In police interviews, the female suspect acknowledged the sexual act occurred but claimed it was not intended to offend anyone, stating "it was the emotions and the moment that took over." The male suspect reportedly declined to comment on the charges, requesting legal representation.

The couple has now been formally charged with sexual harassment at Södertörns District Court, with the court alleging the act was committed intentionally. The case continues to develop as legal proceedings move forward.
