Schwarzenegger Signs Bill Banning Sex with Corpses
Reuters ^ | 9-10-04

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Having sex with corpses is now officially illegal in California after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill barring necrophilia, a spokeswoman said on Friday.

The new legislation marks the culmination of a two-year drive to outlaw necrophilia in the state and will help prosecutors who have been stymied by the lack of an official ban on the practice, according to experts.

"Nobody knows the full extent of the problem. ... But a handful of instances over the past decade is frequent enough to have a bill concerning it," said Tyler Ochoa, a professor at Santa Clara University School of Law who has studied California cases involving allegations of necrophilia.

"Prosecutors didn't have anything to charge these people with other than breaking and entering. But if they worked in a mortuary in the first place, prosecutors couldn't even charge them with that," Ochoa said.

The state's first attempt to outlaw necrophilia, in response to a case of a man charged with having sex with the corpse of a 4-year-old girl in Southern California, stalled last year in a legislative committee.

Lawmakers revived the bill this year after an unsuccessful prosecution of a man found in a San Francisco funeral home drunk and passed out on top of an elderly woman's corpse.

The new law makes sex with a corpse a felony punishable by up to eight years in prison.

The people of California must learn to get over their necrophobia.

Everyone has necrophobia, unless they want to die. You no doubt mean necrophilophobia.

If I was forced to have sex with a dead man, it would be Bruce Willis before he found out he was dead.

Obviously another hateful Republican trick to stop Democrats from wooing their voters.

God that was a funny bit.

Sam would lay stretched out his stomach on stage, playing a corpse in the morgue, face-down.

"Well, I'm dead now, but it was a good life."

Then he would start thrusting his body forward with his toes.

"What the?! Hey! HEY!! What are you doing back there?? I'm dead and I'm still taking it up the &#$@%&!! Oh OHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Jimminy Crickets! It took 2 years to pass this law? I would've thought it was already a crime. Must be the powerful mortician's lobby.

All I can think of is this verse when it comes to California.

"Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting."
