A US TEEN has been arrested after posting photos on Facebook of himself simulating oral sex with a statue of Jesus.
The unnamed 14-year-old boy from the town of Everett, Pennsylvania could face two years in a juvenile detention centre for the ’desecration of a venerated object’.
The statue belongs to a Christian organisation called Love in the Name of Christ, who told the Mail Online that they did not press charges – the pictures were actually discovered by the district attorney’s office, who forwarded them to police.
According to Newsweek, 1972 State law criminalises the desecration of sacred objects:
…defacing, damaging, polluting or otherwise physically mistreating in a way that the actor knows will outrage the sensibilities of persons likely to observe or discover the action.
Two years in jail for an immature prank. Bet he’s really patting himself on the back right now.
