Teen faces Criminal Charges over Simulating Oral Sex on a Jesus Statue


So this is out there.

In Everett, Pennsylvania, this teenager is facing real criminal charges for.... simulating oral sex with a statue of Jesus and posting it on Facebook.

Here's more:
The young man posted that he took the pictures in late July at the statue of a kneeling Jesus in front of the “Love in the Name of Christ” Christian organization in his hometown of Everett.

The criminal charge, which will be heard in family court, consists of “Desecration of a Venerated Object.” 
Pennsylvania law defines desecration as “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.”
The teen, whose name has not been released, could face up to two years in a juvenile jail if convicted.
It's not that deep, let the boy go.

“Desecration of a Venerated Object.” They are really pushing it. There are some old laws on the book that need to be refined. He didn't physically alter or vandalize it. Yea, it ain't that deep.
