LINCOLN, Nebraska (AP) -- It wasn't the fact that Melissa J. Harrington appeared naked on the Internet that got her in trouble with police. It was where she got naked.

 

The 21-year-old Web designer was busted for violating Lincoln's public nudity ordinance by posting pictures on her Web site that apparently showed her naked in a downtown bar.

 

"It's unlawful to be naked in public in Lincoln," said Police Chief Tom Casady.

 

Casady said it was obvious to him that the photos were taken inside the Marz Intergalactic Shrimp and Martini Bar.

 

The owner of the bar, Jerry Luth, told Omaha television station KETV he is extremely upset by the pictures and did not give Harrington permission to shoot the pictures at the bar.

 

Harrington was to be arraigned in Lancaster County Court on January 29. If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine.

 

"They're not going to stop me from doing what I'm doing. I enjoy what I do and they really don't have any grounds now" to prosecute the case, she said.

NE - Woman ticketed for appearing naked on Internet

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - It may be legal to appear naked in cyberspace, but police ticketed a Lincoln woman Monday for posting nude pictures of herself on the Web that were taken in downtown bar.

 

"It's unlawful to be naked in public in Lincoln," said Police Chief Tom Casady.

 

Melissa J. Harrington, 21, was ticketed for violating Lincoln's public nudity ordinance by posting pictures on her Web site melissalincoln.com "showing her naked at one of our downtown bars and in several other locations around the city," Casady said.

 

"They're not going to stop me from doing what I'm doing. I enjoy what I do and they really don't have any grounds now to go off of," to prosecute the case, she said.

 

Harrington, who works as a Web designer at a local Bank, says on her Web site that she likes "being naked in public ... even more when there's a lot of people there to watch."

 

Her Web site is linked to another called "Nebraskacoeds.com," which shows explicit pictures of women who purportedly are college students in Nebraska.

 

Casady said no one has been ticketed in connection with those pictures because it is not apparent where they were taken.

 

"Some of them are clearly stock photos that someone has gotten from some place else," he said. "Some of them, you just can't tell where they are."

 

In Harrington's case, Casady said it is obvious that the photos were taken inside the Marz Intergalactic Shrimp and Martini Bar.

 

Repeated phone calls to the bar Monday rang busy.

 

Casady said the police department planned to send a letter to the state Liquor Control Commission to see if the bar violated any state laws.

 

Harrington was to be arraigned in Lancaster County Court on Jan 29. If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine.
