Sheriff Charged With Raping, Sodomizing & Bribing Female Prisoners

An Oklahoma Sheriff is being accused of running his own version of Girls Gone Wild in prison: On Wednesday, Mike Burgess, the top officer in Custer County — 90 miles outside Oklahoma City — was arrested for, among other charges, forcing female prisoners to "engage in wet T-shirt contests and offering cigarettes to those who would flash their breasts," reports the AP. Burgess's T-shirt contests weren't his only alleged misconducts: A federal lawsuit against him includes "14 counts of second-degree rape, seven counts of forcible oral sodomy and five counts of bribery by a public official." Other dastardly deeds attributed to the asshole: telling a drug court participant he would send to jail if she didn't give him sexual favors; giving a prisoner a coveted "jail trusty" job after she performed a sex act on him, then taking the position away when she would no longer service him, and telling a third woman he would get her brother released from jail if she did him.

Oldies But Goodies Here's an incredibly progressive article from a 1964 issue of Sexology about the repeal of sex laws banning all acts of sodomy (that includes D in the B, as well as Essing the D) in Illinois, making it legal for adults to do whatever filthy, fun things they choose, so long as it's in private. Unfortunately, not all states followed suit so quickly. It wasn't until 39 years later that Texas finally changed its sex laws. [Modern Mechanix]
