SEATTLE – King County sheriff’s deputies say they caught a man having sex with a woman in a stall of a women’s restroom at Qwest Field during last Sunday’s Seahawks game.

The 39-year-old man has been identified as a Thurston County senior deputy prosecutor.

King County Sheriff’s Sgt. John Urquhart said Qwest employees spotted the two in the women’s restroom near Section 138. At the time, there was a long line of women waiting to use the facilities.

Urquhart said deputies who were working the game got a call that there was a man in the women’s restroom having sex with a woman in one of the stalls.

Urquhart said while it isn’t illegal for two people to have sex in the restroom, it is illegal for a man to be in the women’s restroom.

“It doesn’t matter whether they were having sex or not, the fact of the matter was he was in the women’s restroom, at Qwest Field, during a football game, and that’s against the law,” said Urquhart.

Deputies say once outside the stall, the man gave them a hard time and was arrested for trespassing and obstructing a public servant and thrown out of the game.

The woman, who is a paralegal in the Thurston County prosecutor’s office, was not arrested.

The case has been turned over to the King County prosecutor.

Thurston County Prosecutor Ed Holm said the two will face discipline, depending on the outcome of the case in King County.
