Mayor of my nearby town "caught nude".
Published on December 15, 2003 By Matchbook In WinCustomize Talk
I live in Smithers, BC [Canada] - just 30 minutes from me is a town called Houston. The Mayor is, as of late, in some hot water over some pictures that are now circulating the internet of her posing nude for her husband, Tim. The clothe-less photos were snapped in her office, wearing ONLY her necklace.

Apparently someone had snooped on her computer, saved to disc and proceeded to send to EVERYONE - look around online, you'll find that story everywhere The event was NOT a break-in, but rather a total breach of her in-home privacy.


Here's my question [just wondering what you people think here...]

What should happen to her? Should she be left alone, and sue the "thief"? Afterall, the photos were taken by her husband, for personal use and NOT for distribution.
OR should she stand down until the matter is resolved and face MORE public humiliation?

- just wondering..

Seems to me the problem is that the photos were on a goernment-owned computer. (I assume) If that is true, then she should be held accountable. The "thief" should face charges either way.Just my opinion.

My opinion, it's none of our damned business what she does behind closed doors and with her husband.

It was a total invasion of privacy. I dunno why people are so upset over something like this, if they only knew what kinky sexual acts the Presient and his mistress/wife perform in the white-house.

In my opinion, I feel the person that stole the content off their computer should face swift and severe criminal charges. She should continue being mayor, the religious people need to grow-up when it comes to kinky sex, and of course, the townspeople and rest of the world needs to respect everyones privacy. Just because you become a key figure, doesn't mean you quit being "dirty". *sigh*

That is ridiculous.... what the woman does in the privacy of her own home is nothing to do with the rest of the world. The person that stole the photos should be punished to the full extent of the law.

According to the yahoo news article I read about this awhile ago, the reason a big deal was made out of it was that like the first posts says, the picture was taken in the mayors office and it 'shamed the office of mayor' or something like that.

Why should such an act shame the office of the Government? The mayors/governors mansion is nothing more than a temporary home. It should be treated as such. Afterall, what do the townspeople expect her and others to do? Whenever they have a moment of passion, should they drive down the block to a Motel 6?

The only people that see it as "shame" are those that think sex should be between a man and a woman, in bed, with the lights turned out, and with no communication between them OR think that the Office is supposed to be "pure" even though it's not.

Dunno, this really upsets me in a way. I'm not worried about the status of her mayor-ship, but what will become of her relationship with her husband now? This sorta thing could tear a marriage/true love apart.

I agree this is ridiculous! This post is ridiculous!! What a person does in thier own home is thier own business. I'ts bad enough that someone stole the pictures and is circulating them on the internet, and now even more people know about this because of this one post. You SpyderbyteGraphX are now just as guilty of invading this couples' privacy as the person who stole the pictures.

Crissy...therein lies a problem.

Whichever amendment of the American Constitution [5th, probably], not to mention other countries' privacy laws, etc would, rather DO protect Spyderbyte's right to post comment and/or news which is not covered by any 'gag notice' or similar [eg National Interest/Security].

The only 'criminal' act is the person who made unlawful use/access of this woman's computer.

This invasion of privacy, combined with its potential to do political and/or career harm would justify a massive damages suit in civil court and perhaps property theft in criminal court.

Put simply, the thief is scum....

I can see your point crissy, but on the other hand, as I can see nothing wrong in being naked I can't criticise the thread either, it's not as if SpyderbyteGraphX posted the pictures, he merely related the tale...the taboos surrounding nakedness and sex can only be reinforced by treating them as taboos...

but that's just me

My point was not that Spyderbyte is legally guilty of any thing. Obviously he has the right to speak out. My point was is that, ethically and morally this post is wrong. It gives no consideration what-so-ever to this couple who are already probably, shamed and embarrased out of thier minds. Not only was the incident described, but the persons geographical location and public title was revealed. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, but one should think of how it will impact on a person. This is just my opinion of course, but it is a strong one.

The only crimes committed are the theft of property and the invasion of privacy. Being naked is not and should not be a crime.

Two people doing sexy things together sound pretty normal to me

I agree, so why all the public airing of this couples' business.?
