Something You Can't Do in California...

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Having sex with corpses is now officially illegal in California after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill barring necrophilia, a spokeswoman said on Friday.
The new legislation marks the culmination of a two-year drive to outlaw necrophilia in the state and will help prosecutors who have been stymied by the lack of an official ban on the practice, according to experts.

"Nobody knows the full extent of the problem. ... But a handful of instances over the past decade is frequent enough to have a bill concerning it," said Tyler Ochoa, a professor at Santa Clara University School of Law who has studied California cases involving allegations of necrophilia.

"Prosecutors didn't have anything to charge these people with other than breaking and entering. But if they worked in a mortuary in the first place, prosecutors couldn't even charge them with that," Ochoa said.

The state's first attempt to outlaw necrophilia, in response to a case of a man charged with having sex with the corpse of a 4-year-old girl in Southern California, stalled last year in a legislative committee.

Lawmakers revived the bill this year after an unsuccessful prosecution of a man found in a San Francisco funeral home drunk and passed out on top of an elderly woman's corpse.

The new law makes sex with a corpse a felony punishable by up to eight years in prison.

You mean.... California doesn't have a law against non-consensual sex?!
Or are the D.A.'s in California too dumb to pick up on that?

(it's gotta be one or the other...)

Might have to do with having to have non-consensual sex with a person. Corpse != person.

8 years is too much. Same punishment as desecrating a grave would be appropriate. Who thinks we should be spending tens of thousands of dollars a year for 8 years to keep in prison someone who hasn't physically harmed a living person? Aside from the prison guard union, which seems to support all these crazy sentences in CA.

An asylum might be more appropriate than a prison...

Another American right down the drain. This is a slippery slope, that you don't want to go down. First no sex with corpes, what are they going to take away next? I will not support any politician who takes away my freedoms.

I'm surprised the father of the daughter didn't kill the necrophiliac.

I don't know if i would go that far. But something had to be done to the man.

sheesh. sex with the dead is bad enough but to have sex with a dead 4 year old is nasty enough!

Hmm If the 4 year old was alive he would be in prison for a long time. sigh.
