"Tickle Monster" Lawyer From The Park Is Acquitted

[JimBoy]

Some of you here might remember this story from last year on the lawyer who got banned from the park for asking children if he could tickle them. Here is a link to the original thread I started when this first happened [ame="http://www.tickletheater.com/showthread.php?t=46887"]Tickle Monster Lawyer Banned From Park - TickleTheater - Adult Tickling Community[/ame]

The courts have decided that there was nothing illegal in the man's actions and he was cleared of all charges.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - A Madison County judge has ruled it was not illegal for a man to ask to tickle kids.

Charles Douglas in September was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct after he approached parents at a Glen Carbon park and asked if he could tickle their kids.

At the time he was charged, the 58-year-old Douglas said he has done a "tickle monster" routine with children, and that it's simply a "joking thing."

Associate Judge Kyle Napp ruled Wednesday that Douglas did ask to tickle children, and his remarks were protected as free speech by the First Amendment.

Douglas' lawyer, Ted Barylske, argued Douglas could only be prosecuted for disorderly conduct if his remarks fit the description of what the U.S. Supreme Court has termed "fighting words."

Meh, you knows. Maybe he never got off on it at all.

I think for folks like us, it is important to remember that for most people our "fetish" is a very normal, innocent thing. Considering that he asked parents before doing so says to me that he probably didn't have any nefarious intent. 😉

Yes, it's a normal thing for us. Just like sex is a normal thing for "normal" people. Hey little Jimmy's parents, do you think it'd be okay if I bent Jimmy over and reamed his butthole? I'm just gonna buttfuck him! He may need some stitches, but I don't mean any harm. Honest.

For those that missed the entire point; if tickling a sexual fetish to you; don't do it to children. For the love of whatever GOD you believe in, don't do it to children.
