Wisconsin law bans sex with dead bodies, the state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in reinstating charges against three men accused of digging up a corpse to have sex with it.

"A reasonably well-informed person would understand the statute to prohibit sexual intercourse with a dead person," she wrote...Armed with shovels, a crowbar and a box of condoms, the men went to a cemetery in Cassville in southwestern Wisconsin in 2006 to remove the body of a 20-year-old woman killed the week before in a motorcycle crash, police said.

Terribly specific digging, I'd say. Like, "Let's find us some recently dead snatch that isn't too badly mangled."

What a backwards state. In California we made laws against that two years ago.

Good thing he brought condoms. Wouldn't want to worry about catching the clap. Maggots, yes. The clap, no.

"...the court ruled in a 5-2 decision."

So...two of the justices were perfectly okay with corpse-fucking...?

THAT was the question I was waiting for. Thank you for being astute.

Well there's obviously something missing here. The question is whether previously existing law prohibited it or whether a law was going to have to be made. It's the same situation we came across in California a couple of years ago, when people suddenly realized there was no law against necrophilia except the law against disturbing remains, which was not a very serious crime.

As long as they clean up the gravesite to the same condition it was I really don't see a victim here......

The law in Wisconsin had been murky, and two dissenting justices insisted Wednesday that lawmakers did not mean to ban necrophilia but to allow assault charges when someone was raped and then killed.

Perhaps the dissenters were interpreting the law itself, which is what they are supposed to do, rather than imposing their personal opinion on the law.

Be that as it may, I now have the phrase "dug up a dead body to have sex with it" stuck in my head and must go outside and run headfirst into a tree trunk a few times to get rid of it.
