Former Morgue Worker Pleads Guilty To Sex Charges (man had sex with corpses)
http://www.wlwt.com/cnn-news/21338274/detail.html



Kenneth Douglas Admits To Sexually Abusing Corpses

CINCINNATI -- A former morgue worker pleaded guilty to charges that he sexually abused two corpses.

Kenneth Douglas, 56, was already in prison after he was convicted in 2008 of having sex with the corpse of 19-year-old Karen Range of Cincinnati in 1982.

Douglas was charged in February with two more counts of abuse of corpse for allegedly sexually abusing two more women's bodies in 1991. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said DNA linked the two cases to Douglas.

Douglas initially pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned in February, but changed his plea to guilty on Monday.

3. Ugh. I would have thought...
that the maximum penalty for having sex with corpses was, well, having sex with corpses! Why on earth would anyone want to?!

4. The corpses were asking for it... they shouldn't have been dressed so scantly.

9. Was it really necessary for the press to release the names off the victims?
How horrible for the families.

11. I know this behavior is repugnant, but who are the victims?
Can a dead person be a victim of a physical crime? Apparently so, but does this mean that other crimes apply to essentially dead tissue?

16. the bodies aren't victims
any more than the rings and necklaces are victims of a jewelry heist. The crime would be *rape* if the bodies were being treated as victims by the law. They are not so treated.

21. Desecration of human remains is against the law in some places.
And abhorrent pretty much everywhere.

29. There were some young men in Wisconsin
who attempted to dig up the fresh corpse of a 20 year old woman to have sex with it. The dig failed and they were arrested for disturbing the cemetary.

I believe they passed a specific law prohibiting sex with corpses after that. It is hurtful to the dead person's family.

35. Yes--I remember that story, because it was around the same time
that another story came out about young men in Wisconsin having sex with animals, and I remember thinking, What the hell, Wisconsin? But yeah, it would be very distressing for the family, plus the fact that many religions and traditions uphold that the dead should be treated respectfully. In the Catholic faith, one of the Corporal Works of Mercy is to bury the dead. It's an expression of humanity, what separates us from animals.

12. It took 26 years to get the first conviction?
Maybe the victims were a bit reluctant to talk?

19. There was another movie that LIGHTLY touched on this also. It starred Bill Cosby...
and Larry Hagman, and they were EMT's if I'm not mistaken.

Trust me on this one. I saw it 20 odd years ago and there's no bleach powerful enough to erase those images. :rofl:

Then what makes it acceptable in this case?

Proposition 8, stealing my cousin's kids, and the fact that this is a documented practice of the religion.

37. Either you are being deliberately disingenuous...
Or you really have no conception of how Baptisms for the Dead are performed. For the sake of civility, I will assume the latter. There are no corpses involved in Baptisms for the dead, it is a proxy ceremony in which the living stand in place of the deceased.

Where exactly you get necrophilia as being a documented practice of the faith is beyond me.

32. Don't you know?
Making fun of Mormons is cool on this site. Heck...some people go so far as to paint it with an evil brush.

Tolerance - only applies if you think like we do.

25. No statute of limitations on necrophilia?
How did these charges come about?

Convicted last year of an offense that occurred in 1982?

Charged with more counts for acts that occurred in 1991?

39. Well, I'm sure glad people here think desecrating women's bodies by having sex with them is funny.
Boy, we are sure some weird progressives.

We'd expect to get flak for cracking jokes about rape, but a guy who has sex with dead bodies (which definitely qualifies as nonconsensual)? That's FUNNY to us. I guess.

I bet it's real hilarious for the families of these poor women, who not only lost a loved one but now know that she was essentially raped by this creep after she died.
