Woman ticketed for appearing naked on Internet
By Kevin O'Hanlon, Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. ? It may be legal to appear naked in cyberspace, but police ticketed a Lincoln woman Monday for posting nude pictures of herself on the Web that were taken in downtown bar.
"It's unlawful to be naked in public in Lincoln," said police chief Tom Casady.

Melissa J. Harrington, 21, was ticketed for violating Lincoln's public nudity ordinance by posting pictures on her Web site "showing her naked at one of our downtown bars and in several other locations around the city," Casady said.

"They're not going to stop me from doing what I'm doing. I enjoy what I do and they really don't have any grounds now to go off of," to prosecute the case, she said.

Harrington, who works as a Web designer at a local bank, says on her Web site that she likes "being naked in public ... even more when there's a lot of people there to watch."

Her Web site is linked to another which shows explicit pictures of women who purportedly are college students in Nebraska.

Casady said no one has been ticketed in connection with those pictures because it is not apparent where they were taken.

"Some of them are clearly stock photos that someone has gotten from some place else," he said. "Some of them, you just can't tell where they are."

In Harrington's case, Casady said it is obvious that the photos were taken inside the Marz Intergalactic Shrimp and Martini Bar.

Repeated phone calls to the bar Monday rang busy.

Casady said the police department planned to send a letter to the state Liquor Control Commission to see if the bar violated any state laws.

Harrington was to be arraigned in Lancaster County Court on Jan 29. If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine.

it is spreading quickly isn't it

6 months in jail??? Yeah Right. :1orglaugh

You're just stupid with the publicity you want! You think being on the NEWS is good! Well, I have a message for you, IT's NOT!

jDoG

Heh. Burn.

You guys can talk all the smack you want to... only a very few people on here know the whole story... :2 cents:

Shit, this could be a windfall for cops all over the world where nudity/sex in public is fineable crime.

All the websites that focus on the subject with the tens of thousands of pics are just 'evidence in waiting'.

If I was a prosecutor I'ld be a downloading fool.

looks nice

the "real story" is that you push for ANY kind of publicity... mostly negative and now its all going to come back around and bite you in the ass.

do you really think the local Lincoln police and prosecutors are not combing through your shit right now, your interviews, public statements and board remarks to compile a case against you? or are you comfortable telling yourself that "there is no such thing as bad publicity"?

it would seem to me that this has created a situation that could be pretty embarassing to law enforcement there and i would definately expect them to be reacting in compiling an incriminating case and a big bust to vindicate themselves. thats how the system works.

anyone who has ever read this board has read your bullshit stunts every few months.

its getting boring.

Really !

what happened to moving to Florida to hide from the jealous boy freinds and fathers and crap? you haven't finished that story yet.

you are a joke

:1orglaugh

This silly need to have public nudity inside of regular bars is going to cost several people their jobs and possibly their liquor lis.
They have strict rules for topless bars... why should they be leniant on a bar thats clearly allowing the laws to be broken inside. 6 months in jail would suck.

You better be careful. You're in the conservative Midwest and eventually they are going to have enough stuff against you to actually put you in jail. Either that or you're going to blow through a lot of cash trying to stay out of jail.

It's on the front page of Yahoo.com now... congrats.. but use caution, the cops in your area are going to be so pissed now.
