Virginia Doggers Charged With Crimes Against Nature

A 21year old Newport woman was charged with committing a 'crime against nature' this week, two months after cops busted her for receiving oral sex in a parked car.

The woman's (male) partner pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of indecent exposure this week, though the woman reportedly refused the offer, meaning she could now face up to five years in jail, if convicted under the felony law.

While her lawyers are claiming the ancient sex laws are now unconstitutional (following a landmark case against Texas anti-sodomy laws last year), the unfortunate lady is lucky she wasn't around some three or four hundred years ago, when Virginia took a decidedly stricter stance towards illicit sex of any description.

In 1625, the state executed one of America's first known death sentence, when Richard Cornish was hanged for sodomy, while in 1777, Thomas Jefferson tried to replace the sodomy death penalty 'by castration for men and boring a hole through the nose of a woman', though failed for being deemed too 'liberal'.

Still on the subject of oral sex news, a Washington University study revealed this week that a third of all new genital herpes cases are caused by people having oral sex when infected with cold sores around their mouth.

"Keep your kisses 'north of the Equator' during a cold-sore outbreak," The Times advised.
