Coroner has sex with multiple corpses

This is just sick. I don't know how someone could look at a corpse, and get aroused. The story says that they are considering increasing the penalty from one year to 5 years per conviction. I hope this guy gets locked away for a long time, and I also hope that once convicted, the families of the deceased get to address this guy in person.

Reading about this makes me wanna hurl.

  Heard once that things like this happen far more often that what you think.  I knew the percentage at one time, but have forgotten it.  It was a high percentage though of coroners having sex with a patient.

I'm sure that the percentage of coroners bonking corpses is unsettling high. You have to wonder about the type of guy that a job like that attracts.

This is pretty sick and disturbing, but not entirely surprising.

However, I thought that it was interesting that the prosecutor was trying to get the maximum sentence raised.  Again, not to discount how disgusting this is, but frankly, I'm more concerned with the penalties for crimes against the living.

A year in jail for having sex with a cadaver sounds about right.  5 years makes me think, "what would this guy's sentence have been if he had mugged someone instead?"  I'm not going to say that crimes against the dead are victimless crimes, but they certainly aren't comparable to crimes against the living.

As an example, there have been several instances of crematoriums dumping bodies and giving fake ashes to the families; I think a crime like that should primarily be prosecuted as fraud against the living, not bodily abuse of the dead.

That's a good point.

Even though I don't believe in any afterlife, I still get the willies thinking of some dude ramming my corpse.

I think this is sort of like a form of vandalism.  A corpse is private property of the family, and banging the dead body is damaging that property, in an irreplaceable way.  It has lots of sentimental value.

It's such a weird blend of things, that I'm having trouble logically mapping it out.  Freaky weird, though, but nowhere near as bad as raping the living, IMO.

I'm making the most disgusted face right now and actually have no words. Whoa.

This is the interesting Part:   

Deters said he was stunned by so many aspects of the case: sex with a corpse, sex with violently mutilated or damaged bodies, sex with dozens of bodies.

As I tried to rationalize this sickness in my head somehow.........Here is a really lonely fellow, this hot 19 yr old dead chick was just alive a few hours before...........

Then I read these people were partially beheaded, strangled and mutilated. Whole new sicko picture here. This guy needs to be seperated from society forever.

I feel for the Victims families who now have to deal with thier loved ones being violated again.

I'd need to see pictures of the corpses before passing judgment here....

That's only because you're alive.  If you were dead, you probably wouldn't mind.

I think this is sort of like a form of vandalism.  A corpse is private property of the family, and banging the dead body is damaging that property, in an irreplaceable way.  It has lots of sentimental value.

Then I think it's fair to prosecute it as vandalism or some other sort of destruction-of-property statute.  But particularly when it comes to the dead, I think that having sex with them should (legally) be no worse than if he were to have mutilated them.

With a living person, raping them is arguably worse than just beating them up because of the complex psychological effects of being a victim of rape.  The dead have no such worries.

Let this guy bang your recently deceased daughter or loved one and then tell me you think the same punishment applies to the guy who just spry painted Fuck you on the side of the wall at 7-11............

[Spider-Dan]

Let that guy spray paint "Fuck you" on the side of your 7-11 and then tell me you think the same punishment doesn't apply.

Letting the victims determine what the proper punishment should be is the very opposite of objectiveness.

  Where did I say the Victim decided anything ?  You usually don't make alot of sense............today you outdid yourself.

I wonder if Ohio has a Sexually Violent Predators Act, similar to Florida's Jimmy Rice Act. If it does, and "abuse of a corpse" fits under the definition of "sexually violent offense," I have a feeling that Mr. Douglas will never see the light of day again.
