Judge Skirts Privacy of 16 Year Old Girl?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,337173,00.html

Apparently I loose all rights to privacy when I wear a skirt, according to a judge in Oklahoma. I can't figure out if this guy was sober or not. Understandable that all persons associated with professions in the law (my fiance included) has different perceptions on how it applies to specific cases, but this is out-right ludicrous. I can't imagine a man coming up to me thinking that he has the right to violate me because I have on a skirt. Didn't this judge take it into any sort of account that this girl was 16 too? Not that age makes a difference, but in this case, come on...this judge is out of line.

I found this blogger who listed the case law, thanks for referencing this:

the problem is in the construction of the statute that penalizes this conduct. Its a shitty technicality, but the appeals court made the right decision. Of course I am a defense attorney.
