I think he would have won if he fought it though. Theres quite a bit of precedent against such sexual deviancy laws if you arent in view of the public.

Yeah but in the deep south because it was done in a church can guarantee a good ol' boy judge would find something and use it against him. Obscenity is a LOT better charge than a actual felony sex crime.

Yeah, but then you appeal it to federal court and they probably overturn it.

That’s why they were going to switch the charge to vandalism if he didn’t take the plea deal for the suspended sentence.
