IS THIS BULLSHIT OR APPROPRIATE?

Mesa, Arizona -- bullshit or appropriate?


19-year-old Hunter Osborn has been booked on 69 counts of indecent exposure -- a class 1 misdemeanor -- and one count of furnishing harmful items to minors -- a class 4 felony.

The picture in question is a standard high school football group photo, with Osborn standing on the second row of bleachers smiling. Two players in front of him appear to have given enough space between themselves to allow Osborn to expose himself.

According to police, Osborn said he was dared by teammates to expose himself, and that in retrospect he was "disgusted" with himself for doing it.

The number of criminal charges correlates to the number of students present at the time of the photo, ranging in age from 15 to 19. If individuals in the photo are older than 18 and do not wish to press charges, the number of criminal counts could be reduced. Police indicated that the number of charges may go up or down depending upon how the investigation continues.

The Red Mountain High School administration called police as soon as they become aware of the exposure. The photo was printed in both the yearbook - which was sent out to 3,400 students -- and in the school's football program, sold at games and seen by many family and community members.

Some fellow students and a neighbor said that Osborn is a good kid who works hard, goes to church, etc... and they don't think his life should be ruined by a felony sex conviction or anything like that.

The high school has had to recall all the yearbooks and will reissue edited ones.
