According to police a group of kids saw the couple in the act and asked their family what was happening. After receiving calls from beachgoers, police arrived to find Razo and Westfield in the middle of the act. After shouting out to the couple to stop, police said they could see Westfield “completely nude,” and they saw Razo adjust her swimsuit to cover herself before jumping off the pier to try and swim away from cops. The duo could face felony charges, which could land the two on the sex offender registry. So far, the two are only facing charges for trespassing and disturbing the peace. Razo is also facing a resisting charge for trying to get away. READ MORE: Couple accused of having sex on Naples Pier could face felony charges
