Judge rules women can jog naked in Maine

A judge in Maine has ruled that women can jog naked in public.

Two students at the University of Maine were charged with indecency after their naked run on November 2.

The law says an offence is committed only if the genitals are knowingly exposed in public. The judge said women's genitals are primarily internal.

Debra Ballou of Island Falls and Kathryn Mann, of Fayetteville, New York conducted their own defence.

They asked only one question of the only prosecution witness - the police officer who arrested them.

Ms Ballou, 20, asked officer John Ewing whether he saw her genitals during the incident.

"Not that I recall," he replied.

"That's all I have," Ms Ballou told the court.

After he made his ruling, Judge Jesse Gunther, of the 3rd District Court in Bangor added: "I would assume the legislature will probably be addressing this issue."

Rock on! Maybe this will gain momentum and America will finally make a chip in its armor of prudeness.

I think this will set some good precedents....now, how to get rid of the archaic sodomy laws?

Sodomy laws???


What about the law against fornication? That's the one i'm concerned about.

It's also interesting that it's not illegal to sell a vibrator in the state of Ga if it's prescribed by a physician or psychiatrist.

Yeah, and i'm gonna start the crusade tomorrow. I did swear five times that i'd uphold all the laws of the State of Ga (except for minor traffic offenses) on my teaching contract.


Good thing what they don't know can't void my contract.

"The law says an offence is committed only if the genitals are knowingly exposed in public. The judge said women's genitals are primarily internal." I have to admit, that's damn logical of him. He's right, but I'm surprised that line of reasoning carried the day.

I've spent a lot of time in Maine, and I've run across precious few women I've looked forward to seeing naked. Though there's something to be said for the thrill of seeing nudity where you don't expect it.
