Illinois Lawmakers Push To Outlaw Sex With Corpses

Last edited Sat Mar 31, 2012, 09:56 AM - Edit history (1)

It's the law you didn't know you needed. The Illinois House voted unanimously to outlaw sex with corpses and to make it illegal to move a corpse. If the bill passes, sex with a corpse would be a Class 2 felony with a maximum sentence of seven years in jail. Moving a corpse would be a Class 4 felony with a maximum punishment of three years in jail.

State Rep. Daniel Beiser (D-Alton) is sponsoring the legislation and says, "It's all out of respect for the deceased." Apparently there is no law explicitly banning having sex with a corpse and currently prosecutors charge offenders with "criminal damage to property."

“When you think of that, you think of someone going … breaking a mailbox or something similar,” Beiser told Illinois Statehouse News. “We obviously understand that isn’t adequate, that anybody who abuses or mishandles a deceased just demeans the meaning of that person’s life."

Expect the all powerful corpse-fucking lobby to fight this hard.

They couldn't charge the deviant because there was no law against it. The case went all the way to the WI State Supreme Court..

Are they sure there wasn't anything they could prosecute him for? Maybe they need to elect a new county DA.

They have no problems screwing the Illinois taxpayers but it is a high priority to protect the rights of the dead. Welcome to the wonders of Illinois politics. I am SO proud...

It leaves me to speculate about they do themselves behind closed doors.

Was in high dudgeon about "don't they have more important things to do?"

Something like this wastes a hell of a lot more time and taxpayer money than brief hoodie-wearing stunts.

I really don't want to know why this isn't a no-brainer.
