A 14-year-old in Everett, Pennsylvania who simulated oral sex with a Jesus statue and posted photos on Facebook has been charged with the crime of desecrating a venerated object.


The 1972 statute criminalizes “defacing, damaging, polluting or otherwise physically mistreating in a way that the actor knows will outrage the sensibilities of persons likely to observe or discover the action.”

An LGBT advocacy group argues the law is unconstitutional.
