U.S. -- A woman filed a complaint against the New York City
Police Department. She says her civil rights were violated when policemen
apprehended her in 2012 for sunbathing tópless in a park.
Jessica Krigsman says she was
súnbathing tópless on a bench in a public park, when two police officers
approachedher and asked to put her shírt on. When the woman refused to do so,
she was told to "stop mouthing off," and the officers pulled the
shírt over her head by force.
Krigsman allegedly cited
the precedent which allows a woman to bare any part of her body that a man
can. The officers, however, ignored her, and the woman waited for over five
hours before being finally charged with óbstructing of a sitting area.
However, she was not charged
with any crime relating to public núdity. She is seeking unspecified damages
for civil rights infractions, malicioús prosecution, and assault and battery.
