Concert Square sex video suspect says he 'can't afford' to get to court

A man charged over sex videos taken in Concert Square said he couldn't afford to come to court before a judge issued a warrant for his arrest.

Joe Firby was due to appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court this afternoon in relation to a charge of outraging public decency from August 2 this year. The 23-year-old was charged after videos taken in Liverpool city centre showed a man and a woman performing sex acts in front of members of the public.

The footage was then posted online and shared thousands of times before Merseyside Police launched an investigation.
