SUNBATHER IS CLEARED IN PUBLIC NUDITY CASE

TITUSVILLE, Fla., Oct 26 (UPI) 
- A jury says naked buttocks do not "outrage the sense of public decency" and 
that ruling sent Sheriff Jake Miller of Brevard County back to reconsider 
measures he had taken against nude sunbathing.
  Mr. Miller ordered his deputies in June to arrest nude sunbathing at 
Playalinda Beach. On June 20, they arrested Samuel Anderson, of Winter Park,
and Sara Cunningham, of Altamonte Springs, for disorderly counduct.
  Miss Cunningham decided Thursday to plead no contest before Judge Lawrence
Johnson. But Mr. Anderson challenged the state law and won in a jury decision
Thursday.
  His lawyer, Louis Cianfrogna, told the jury that state laws describe 
disorderly conduct as acts that "corrupt public morals or outrage the sense 
of public decency".
  "We're talking about bare buttocks here," Mr. Cianfrogna said. "I don't
think nudity among consenting adults outrages the public anymore."
  The jury took only 15 minutes to find Anderson not guilty Thursday.
