Schwarzenegger Signs Bill Banning Sex with Corpses
Reuters | 9-10-04


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.

Doesn't surprise me at all.

I remeber the pervert that had sex with a dog in Florida not too long ago.  They could only charge him with animal cruelty since there is no law on the books prohibiting sex with animals.

People just didn't conider this shit to even been an issue... until now.

Only in California would such a law even need to be written. Good grief. I feel sorry for the good and sane people who must live there among the scum and idiots.

I guess someone who would bang a corpse is a true "necromancer"?

I think the report on Fox said that California was one of the last few that didn't have this law on the books.

Are californians still allowed to have sex with fruits and vegatables?  How about vacuum cleaners?  Are we still good with compost?  Apple pie?

They NEED a law to outlaw that?  Does this mean this is a real problem in California?
