LINCOLN, Neb. - It may be legal to appear naked in cyberspace, but police ticketed a Lincoln woman for posting nude pictures of herself on the Web that were taken in a downtown bar.

Melissa J. Harrington, 21, was ticketed Monday for violating Lincoln's public nudity ordinance by posting pictures on her Web site "showing her naked at one of our downtown bars and in several other locations around the city," Police Chief Tom Casady said.

"It's unlawful to be naked in public in Lincoln," he said.

Harrington, who works as a Web designer at a local Bank, says on her Web site that she likes "being naked in public ... even more when there's a lot of people there to watch."

"They're not going to stop me from doing what I'm doing. I enjoy what I do and they really don't have any grounds" to prosecute the case, she said.

Her Web site is linked to another showing explicit pictures of women who purportedly are college students in Nebraska.

Casady said no one has been ticketed in connection with those pictures because it is not apparent where they were taken.

"Some of them are clearly stock photos that someone has gotten from some place else," he said. "Some of them, you just can't tell where they are."

In Harrington's case, Casady said it is obvious that the photos were taken inside the Marz Intergalactic Shrimp and Martini Bar.

The owner of the bar, Jerry Luth, told Omaha television station KETV he is extremely upset by the pictures and did not give Harrington permission to shoot the pictures at the bar.

"I'm the one who called police to complain about the nude pictures," said Luth.

Casady said the police department planned to send a letter to the state Liquor Control Commission to see if the bar violated any state laws.

Harrington was to be arraigned in Lancaster County Court on Jan 29. If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine.

God bless middle America....and yes I know i'm pandering to a stereotype; sue me.

[Kittychick]

That just cracks me up... I guess that can only really happen out there...what do they have nothing better to do or don't have enough crimes that they have to go around busting a young woman who likes to show her **** off??? lmfao, I agree Big Green only in middle America

That would NEVER hold up in court if me or anyone I knew got ticketed for that.
There is NO WAY they can prove that picture is authentic in a COURT OF LAW. It can be altered, it can be any of a number of things.
It would cost too much money to make those charges stick if someone contested the ticket.
Gay ass s h i t going on with new laws and activists against everything.

She should take the exact pic in question and have a photoshop contest to see who can put her in various weird (impossible) places like on the moon, floating in space, in the ocean with a bunch of sharks,...

Then introduce the best entries as proof that you don't know where she took the pic.

These people are seriously uptight. She did it and got away with it. Quitchyur friggin crying and go back to work. If you catch her in the act then you bust her. This is like cheating.

I read about some guy who posted nekkid pix of himself on the net, and the cops arrested him, but when they took him before the judge, they couldn't get the evidence to stand up in court . . .

Isn't that by definition prostitution? Sex for money...

If she's a bona fide virgin, can we sacrifice her to thre volcano gods instead?
