Boy Charged For Desecration Of Jesus Statue | The Smoking Gun
I find it disgusting that this is a misdemeanor. It ought to be punished by imprisonment.
Vibrators should be against the law, then? That's clearly a sexual act.
Possibly, but then again I am a human being with rights and liberties, not a statue which is property.
Out of curiosity, if that kid walked up to you and started humping your leg that way would you consider it to be a sexual act then?
The act is what it is without regard to whether it was committed upon a person or an object.
Now the statue is a human female or male?
Was it offended? Mortified? The damned thing gets rained on and crapped on by the birds.
The only difference if he did it to you would be that it would be a sexual assault instead of simply an indecent act.
Then I guess they charged him appropriately for PA. In AZ he'd be subject to Format Document
Only if he did it in front of someone who is offended by the act, or likely to be offended by the act.
"...if another person is present, and the defendant is reckless about whether such other person, as a reasonable person, would be offended or alarmed by the act:.."
Ludicrous. A vibrator doesn't commit acts all by itself.
No, it wasn't a sexual act. It was a pretend sexual act.
And I'm not really sure whether a "sexual act" with a statue actually counts as a crime. If not actually having sex with an inanimate object is a crime, surely we're going to have to end the sex toy industry.
Well, somebody took the picture so I'm pretty sure someone else was there. I don't know if there were more "somebody's" but it looks like it was in broad daylight and in a public place.
And once again the internet brings me wisdom well beyond that for which I could ever have hoped.....
....or wanted.:lol:

He committed a heinous act of blasphemy.
Would you say the same if it was a statue of Mohammed?

Secondly, why was he arrested? He did nothing illegal as far as I can see. He does not have his pants down, and unless being without a shirt is illegal there.. then what?

This ordinance is crap...
"Desecrate." Defacing, damaging, polluting or otherwise
physically mistreating in a way that the actor knows will
outrage the sensibilities of persons likely to observe or
discover the action.
The 1st amendment trumps anyone's "sensibilities".
