A COUNCILLOR has slammed a group of "exhibitionists" who filmed and uploaded a video of themselves dogging at a popular beauty spot as "disgusting".

Millions of people have now watched footage of three people performing a sex act at Devil's Dyke after the film was uploaded to the 2Beeg.Mobi website.

The 17-minute-long clip titled "Devils dyke dogging" shows the group performing the romp in the woods under the cover of darkness two years ago. 

Horrified councillor Mary Mears described the discovery as "disgusting" and hoped the footage would not put residents off visiting the attraction.

She said: "It is such a shame that they use these beauty spots - it makes other residents nervous.

"It is disgusting but I actually find it quite sad. Exhibitionists do it for the thrill but it is actually sad.

"It makes beauty spots in the city no go areas. Come springtime, residents need to go and enjoy them and not be put off."

Dogging, sex in public, watched by others is not illegal in itself but it can be if another person sees the act.

Only last week sex tourists were warned not to visit a popular beauty spot following an increase in “dogging” reports. The Ashdown Forest has reportedly become a “dogging hotspot”, according to Sussex Police.

Police said the area of outstanding beauty, and surrounding car parks, should not be used for sexual activity.

The news is just months after The Argus revealed thousands of people had watched footage of the Brighton Naked Bike Ride after it was uploaded to a porn site.

The five-minute-long clip, which was filmed in Preston Road, Brighton and appears to focus on several women taking part in the ride.

Horrified co-organiser Steve Sims described the discovery as "strange" and hoped the event message would overshadow the actions of those responsible.

Reacting to the Devil's Dyke discovery, a National Trust spokesman said: “People concerned about illegal outdoor activity should phone the police on 101."
