1. Sounds like it went exactly as planned.

2. That's what I'd think -

As I posted this I thought, that headline wasn't written correctly. He didn't stick it out there for people to NOT see it.

3. This sounds like comic-book police activity

He's a fucking high-schoool kid!

[KamaAina]

4. *69* counts of indecent exposure?!

[scscholar]

5. Talk about overcharging...

It's ridiculous how our criminal system works. Overcharge people to get them to plead to lessor charges.

6. He could try the Jim Morrison defense.

He stuck his finger out of his fly and made it look like his penis.

9. I think he'd be better off claiming it was an artistic expression

7. It's absurd to destroy this kid's life over this. It was HS, and a stupid prank. Most of these

kids know what a dick is anyway. Sure, there should be something done, but these charges are absolutely insane.

8. A kid did this when I was in HS. He got a stern talking to and served a few days on suspension

Criminal charges over this are ridiculous. Kids these days (I can't believe I just said that) are coddled over some things, and slammed with draconian penalties over others. No wonder they're screwed up.

10. The kid is nineteen, maybe18 when it happened - either way, he was an adult and...

consequently, the school may not have any discretion in this. One can only hope the court cuts him some slack and dismisses the case for embarresment served

18. Totally agree. n/t

11. OMG a penis!

Run for your lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12. Yikes .... almost as heinous as Madonna's breast or Janet Jackson's nipple

[NobodyHere]

13. Scandalous

Why weren't they charged with 100,000,000 counts of indecent of exposure or something?

14. Give him a couple hundred hours of community service and move on.

Stupid, but not life-ending stupid.

15. He's really getting the shaft. n/t

19. Must be a low crime area if the DA has time to dick around with this. n/t

22. You'd rather they went soft? nt

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

23. It was a massive boner on his part n/m

16. I'm hoping they're just trying to really scare him and they'll drop these really excessive charges.

If not, I'm afraid they'll be teaching him the wrong lesson.

And by the way, are the two boys standing in front of him who pretty obviously formed the frame for Little Johnnie intentionally getting punished, as well?

[NuclearDem]

17. 70 charges for this?

Jesus fucking Christ.

[Kaleva]

20. He'll be talked about at the 50 year class reunion

21. Mesa, Arizona is America's most conservative city

Poor kid lives in the wrong place.
