When I first heard 3 guys in a neighboring county were caught in the act of digging up a fresh grave, I thought they had some scheme to sell body parts, take jewelry off the corpse. or some other greedy reason. I was wrong. Apparently they wanted what we all want, [sex.](http://news.yahoo.com/s/wisc/20060905/lo_wisc/9792536) Except with a week old female corpse, the victim of a motorcycle accident. :eek: They allegedly bought condoms on the way to the cemetary. :eek: :eek: It amazes me that there are three individuals on the same continent who would think this a good idea. Surely they could at least find some accommodating livestock out back. It’s so pitiful. It’s so disgusting. Yet all I can do is write SNL skits in my head about it. Just a few miles out of town are Larry’s, Darryl’s and Darryl’s dumber cousins. ---

I think we can all agree that this is indeed one sexual habit that would devastate one’s children were they to find out the parent indulged in it. Yup, this is the one. Well, maybe it would be worse if one found out one’s parent was a \*\*polyamorous \*\*necrophiliac–but I doubt it… Or maybe necrophilic bestiality would be worse… Ack, I need some brain bleach now! :eek: ---

At the risk of blurring forum boundaries, I have to ask in all seriousness - can you really be charged with “attempted third degree sexual assault” on a corpse? Doesn’t assault imply a live victim (if they shot her body, would they be up on ‘attempted murder’ charges?) ---

They can probably be got for “damaging human remains” or whatever that crime is called. ---

Sounds like the family has been through some tragedy before. From her obit: > [@](#): > > She was preceded in death by her brother, Tom, in 1996. And now three morons dig her up with the intention of fucking the corpse. The poor family must be thinking, “What next?” ---

Well, there’s: Criminal Trespass Vandalism/Destruction of Property Desecration of a Grave? Desecration of a Corpse? … Sexual assault construes a lack of consent, or a violation of consent. Since human remains cannot give consent, assault is sort of implied. But since human remains are not persons, but, well, stuff, we are basically left with things like desecration. ---

Doesn’t assault imply a live victim (if they shot her body, would they be up on ‘attempted murder’ charges?) [/QUOTE] The relevant charge of 3rd degree sexual assaul in WI is found [here in Section 940.225.](http://www.legis.state.wi.us/statutes/Stat0940.pdf) The briefest summary I can figure for it is “sexual intercourse with a person without consent.” I did find a “key definition” of “consent” that referenced unconsciousness or sleep, but not death. I will look into the definition of a “person” – so far I haven’t found the accepted legal definition in the WI statutes. OTOJ, there is also possibly a relevant clause in SECOND degree secuals assault in that “Sexual intercourse or sexual contact with a person known by the perpetrator to be unconscious or mentally ill or mentally deficient.” I would think a dead person cound be considered unconscuous or mentally deficient, or both. Any lawyers who’ve handled necrophilia cases out there? Wouldn’t the be a funny vanity search – “attorney AND necrophilia”?
