He's lucky that he didn't get charged with Indecent Exposure, since the law in Colorado simply states that the genitals have to be exposed where it's likely to cause affront or alarm...
I would have to say trespassing and resisting arrest would be pretty light compared to what he could have gotten, although I don't think the school should have kicked him out as well. One or the other, maybe, but both is overkill.

Simonsebs, can I politely suggest that if you have something to say on a subject you come out and say it and let others respond, rather than posting a lead with the comment "please read and respond", which seems to be your routine.

Fair enough, he got already an earlier "warning". Streaking is unnecessary disruptive, not all that funny, little to do with nudism (imho). The sex-offenders listing (which he slipped, luckily for him!) is over the top, but legally there has to be a line somewhere. Otherwise there well be too many gray somes, better to border on the safe side. Hope he learned a final lesson.

I've been thinking the same lately.

Could that be an added Signature or Trademark?

The teen was really lucky not to be charged. That would be on his record permanently. Having a sex offender charge would greatly ruin his reputation, plus make it difficult for him to live peacefully or freely in any given neighborhood; reduce his chances of getting employment if a background check was done. Many employers require background checks nowadays.

Student gets the boot for streaking
BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 1 (UPI) --
A University of Colorado student with a penchant for running naked says he will be suspended for the spring semester for streaking at a football game.
Mason Lacy, 19, who was charged with resisting arrest and trespassing for his naked run during halftime of a Sept. 6 game against Colorado State University, said he was informed Tuesday he will not be allowed to take classes at the university in the spring, the Boulder (Colo.) Daily Camera reported Thursday.
Lacy also was charged with incidental exposure in 2007 when the then-17-year-old streaked at a high school football game. The charge was later dropped as a result of his young age. Lacy said he was relieved not to be charged with indecent exposure in the Sept. 6 incident because it could have led to him registering as a sex offender.
"That could have been really bad," he said. "Being a sex offender is a really serious thing."
Lacy is due in court Oct. 12.

I seriously wonder how many people on the sex offender's registry actually committed a sexual crime? No one should ever be placed on the List if all they did was to be naked in public. The Registry can ruin people's lives who have committed a victimless crime. Being offended at nudity does not make one a victim.

Streaking has nothing to do with nudism. It is really about being an exhibitionist and causing people to be shocked. He is lucky that they did not make the charges more severe than they did.

Lately I've been too tired with work and school to get my thoughts together on most news stories. When that happens I write "please read and respond." In the future please send me a PM about this sort of thing so we don't run the risk of going off topic.

Streaking used to be a trend and was usually taken as a joke. Nowadays, due to the sensitivity of certain individuals, the "speaky" wheel gets the grease", even though that may be the minority. I think getting suspended was uncalled for. They could have just reprimanded him and let him be on his way. Just the pure mention of the incident would, in itself, cause enough embarassment to the individual on campus. A fine, yes, but to suspend, I don't think so. Nothing to do witn nudism. It's exhibitionism at it's best, only the place of the event was the troublesome aspect. Should have used better judgement.:smoking:

GREAT observation. I have read that there are many, too many, cases of people placed on the registry that really aren't danger to the public and their "offense" is so minor. Many cases involve young person who is 18, 19 and had relationship/relations with a 16 or 17 year old and the other party was a willing participant. I don't know what the statistics are but I am sure there are cases of people being on the list b/c of streaking or a harmless "indecent exposure". It is unfortunate to say that there are many situations where law enforcers do not use their common sense and simply act out what the law says.

And then there is the case of a 16-year-old sending a nude photo of herself and getting in trouble for the "taking" and "sending" of a nude photo of a minor. Yes she was being charged for taking the photo of a minor--herself. :mad: At some point you have to scream "STOP ALL OF THIS MADNESS."
Given that this is the second incident, the suspension seems warranted.

Bah, I think this is ridiculous.
I think getting suspended was uncalled for.
I agree. I don't think there should be any punishment in the first place, but I could understand a fine or some sort of reprimand. But barring him from taking classes? It's not like he was showing up to class nude...
:idea:

I stand corrected. A football game is a "prime" time for streaking. That's when you get the most attention. But then again, that's also when most of the faculty would be present, both the home team and the away teams.:smoking:

Florida has the right idea. Although I do wonder what will happen now that this article has come out.

No surprise that the law has been invoked and court follows. Twenty years ago lots of things you could do that were illegal though no-one would call the police, now they do.

Gotta hire these Gators as naturist PR writers!
"If you're on the globe you've got to disrobe."
"Be body beautiful baby!"
"This is why I work out."
"Because it's down right liberating."
"I can think of worse things to do—this is certainly better."
One comment I'd edit like this: "Have you ever seen a 'gator in clothes?" :)

He is very lucky he didn't get charged with flatout indecent exposure. Because like he said, he definitely would have had to have registered as a sex offender. Once that happens to you, your life as you know it is practically ruined from what I know. But streaking and college have always kind of gone hand-in-hand in a way. Even though it is not considered officially nudism, it is nevertheless a harmless prank. The trouble is, the cops just don't see it that way for obvious reasons.
