Three men who dug up a young woman's corpse to have sex with it after seeing her obituary photo cannot be charged with attempted sexual assault because Wisconsin has no law against necrophilia, an appeals court ruled Thursday.
A judge was correct to dismiss the charges against twin brothers Nicholas and Alexander Grunke and Dustin Radke, all 21, because lawmakers never intended to criminalize sex with a corpse, the District 4 Court of Appeals said in a 3-0 ruling.
The three men went to a cemetery in Cassville in southwestern Wisconsin on Sept. 2 to remove the body of Laura Tennessen, 20, who had been killed the week before in a motorcycle crash.
The men used shovels to reach her grave. They abandoned their plan and were eventually arrested after a vehicle drove into the cemetery and reported suspicious behavior, authorities said.
Anyway, I find it fascinating (and, yes, deeply disturbing) that these three guys were sitting around, saw the woman's obituary photo, and apparently came to an agreement that it would be a good idea to dig her up and have sex with her corpse. That must have been an interesting conversation.
Oh, and by the way, you necrophiliacs may not want to move to the Dairy State after all. A State Senator has introduced legislation that would make it illegal. The spoilsport.
