[Zigg]

That's ridickulous.

 

[Christo]

So 69 counts because 69 teammates are in the picture. None of whom were looking at him. And most of whom have probably seen his junk in the locker room/shower. 

 

[Gachi]

lol 69

 

[Rove!]

He could not escape the dong arm of the law...

 

[Zegras11]

69%

penis

penis

The Pen15 club has to have been the leak here.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The big question is why are they distributing yearbooks so early?

 

[Johnny Rock]

Overcharge much? And by that I mean why is this being charged at all?

There are pics of me in my yearbook with beer bottles; are you going to investigate how I came into possession of said alcohol Mr. Toughguy DA?

pics of bongs in mine.  not kidding.

It should be 69 counts times the number of practices and games since surely he showered naked each time with them.  They really need to investigate this case further and out an end to these shennaningans.   

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Not to defend this overzealous prosecution but I'm not sure a couple of you know what "indecent" means.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

In other news, yearbook orders are up 450%

 

[kutta]

Whole lot of religious whackos in Mesa, AZ. Doesn't surprise me one bit that this became an issue.

Pic of a guy with hair in mine. Also not kidding

:JAA:

While I agree this appears absolutely crazy, this is exactly the hyper-sensitive, PC society we live in. 

The key statement iin the article is someone filed a complaint and that's all it takes. The police have to investigate and I don't know Arizona law, but this would fall under the Indecent Exposure misdemeanor laws in Colorado.

He will plead it down, but It was a stupid prank that will end up costing this kid a lot. I mean having to re-print all the yearbooks wasn't cheap I am sure. Most importantly, his lawyer's job will be finding a way to escape having him register as a sex offender. 

I see kids charged with this exact charge for "mooning" people and don't even get me started on the sexual assault charges that are filed for kids playing tag and someone accidentally touches someone on the butt.

i look back at all the crazy stuff I did in high school in the 80's and under today's societal microscope, I would have been charged with multiple felonies.

Not sure his age, but why don't they charge the publisher and the school for distributing child porn? Or, at the very least, distubuting porn to minors since all of the students are not 18. 

 

[Godsbrother]

To carry the ridiculousness further... 

Shouldn't the photographer be in trouble for taking the picture of the dong in the first place?

And I don't know how they did their yearbook but back when I was in high school there was a committee of students that chose the pictures that would be in the yearbook.  If that's still the case then shouldn't they be held responsible since they were the ones that put the picture in the yearbook?   

It seems to me this kid is a victim...

 

[Parrothead]

this story will come to a head soon

 

[Jules Winnfield]

For pulling off that prank, let's give said football player, a tip of our hat. 

Just the tip

 

[Godsbrother]

I hope they aren't too hard on him.  He was just being cocky

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I hope they aren't too hard on him.  He was just being cocky

You think he wood get the shaft?

 

[Parrothead]

i heard he let the team in sacs

 

[Wooderson]

A game of inches. 

 

[Snoopy]

Did the team need a couple extra balls?

 

[cstu]

Really confused by this...

- he didn't expose himself to his teammates

- he didn't take the photo nor did he publish it

- could also claim it wasn't really his penis, but a prosthetic

 

[Parrothead]

please, can we call it a "tallywhacker"

 

[Zow]

lack of mens rea

 

[Jules Winnfield]

lack of mens rea

And lack of hard evidence

 

[The General]

lol 69

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

"That?  Oh that's not my wiener, coach.  That's my Jon Kitna action figure."

you saying he has a nice package?

What is a 19 year old doing in high school?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

What is a 19 year old doing in high school?

It's not that weird to have kids that started a year "late" or were held back to turn 19 before graduation. 

 

[IC FBGCav]

It's not that weird to have kids that started a year "late" or were held back to turn 19 before graduation. 

I guess that makes sense but it is weird to me, I graduated high school at 17.   Having someone in the same grade two years older is odd.   

 

[Bucky86]

Would there be any charges for a creeper exposing himself behind young girls taking a photo?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I guess that makes sense but it is weird to me, I graduated high school at 17.   Having someone in the same grade two years older is odd.   

Yeah, me too.

I didn't turn 18 until the first month of college.  But not everybody can be geniuses like  you and I.

 

[Chemical X]

no story I ever read starts as "HS chess club member.......", why is it always football players?

 

[Zegras11]

arrested and in jail 

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Yeah, me too.

well LA TE DA mister on-track.   I drove to 7th grade.

not conforming with generally accepted standards of behavior?

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Duh, because Chess club members ****'s aren't long enough to stick out of the top of their waistband.

I am glad you did that research and not me.

I did both

While we are at it, charge the teammates who are in front of him who conveniently spaced themselves apart just enough so he could be seen.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

I am glad you did that research and not me.  

I can show you my club to girth vs time 4d plotted ratio matrix when you're ready to join me in advanced cockery.

 

[Rove!]

It was only a matter of time until somebody noticed that the picture of the football team had an extra member...
