Wisconsin Law Bans Sex with Dead
I wasn't planning on it - but just in case you were LOL

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin law bans sex with dead bodies, the state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in reinstating charges against three men accused of digging up a corpse to have sex with it.

The court waded into the grisly case after lower court judges ruled nothing in state law banned necrophilia. Those decisions prompted public outrage in Wisconsin and on the Internet, where one blogger wrote: "Doing the dirty with the dead OK in Wisconsin."

Not anymore, the court ruled in a 5-2 decision

1. Oy vey. This is disturbing on so many levels.
One man digging up a corpe to have sex with it is bad enough. But three??

How does that conversation even start? "Say guys, I've got an idea about something that might be fun..." :wtf:

3. There are some things so out there you never consider a law to prohibit it.
This is one of those.

16. On the flip side, though,
cadavers don't put up a believable resistance, either!


Joking. Many state laws used to have ridiculous exceptions to rape laws, including that the victim must have "resisted to the utmost".

In Missouri up until 1978 it was impossible to rape a prostitute; the victim had to be "of previously chaste character".


We do not live in a very enlightened society, nor even a very civil one.

7. Technical question (Not a how to!)
Per your post, a law was established after a crime had been committed but it wasn't a law when the incident occurred? How could anyone be charged with a crime which wasn't a crime when it was committed?

If it were a family member of mine dug up there would not have been any need for a supreme court ruling.

11. They were charged with attempted sexual assault.
The legal issue was whether the law encompassed dead bodies (believe it or not, there was a question about that).

The WI Supreme Court said yes, the law does apply, so they go back for trial.

Anyone check if they have night jobs? :P

15. No. Two judges thought the state legislature wrote a crappy law
which, in fact, they did.

14. The pornographic sequel to 'Wisconsin Death Trip' will just have to be shot across the border
in Ontario or Manitoba now. Another small minded, restraint-o'-trade law foreclosing on somebody's business opportunity - no wonder the American economy is moribund.

It looks like the police dug up the guys so they could charge them with a crime.

don't eat six cups of watermelon daily and whose wives play dead when they come near.

I see that several people beat me to the punch in making a snide remark about her.
