The Iowa woman caught having sex in a Metrodome restroom before a cheering crowd of onlookers Saturday during the Iowa-Minnesota football game said she was so drunk on wine that she doesn't remember anything about the incident, the Des Moines Register reported Wednesday.

"It's ruined my life," Lois Feldman, 38, of Carroll, Iowa, told the Register.

Feldman, a married mother of three, told the newspaper that she was fired Wednesday from an assisted living center, where she had been an administrator.

"I don't know what happened," Feldman told the Register. "But I don't deny that it did happen, because, obviously, there are police reports."

University police cited Feldman and Ross M. Walsh, 26, of Linden, Iowa, for indecent conduct.

Feldman said she had never met Walsh.

"I don't know who this man is," she told the Register. "I just found out his name in the paper."

A security guard discovered the two having sex in a handicapped stall in a men's room, police said. Police were summoned, and they interrupted the two.

Walsh was released to his girlfriend and Feldman to her husband, police said.

Police say Walsh had also been drinking.
