For our criminal defense attorneys, most of us would like to secure a deal like the one given to James Burden, 55, in Falkirk, England. Burden was found bouncing naked on a woman’s trampoline while masturbating. He then got down and walked naked toward the terrified woman. Giving him only probation, the Court warned Burden that the “[b]reach the probation in any way and you may be removed from the community.” It appears that bouncing naked on trampolines while masturbating is not enough to remove you from the community.
Burden pleaded guilty to one count of publicly exposing his “person” in a shameless and indecent manner. He also admitted to a novel crime of placing a person in “a state of fear and alarm.”
He received three years probation and was bounced back into society.

Obviously, a true Churchill admirer!
I would have given him a medal for orchestrating both activities without injuring his “person”!
raff,
That’s exactly what I was thinking. The possibility of injury seems quite high. As did the defendant in this case.
From the “urban dictionary” there is a definition for this.
“Bouncing One Out “
Gives a new meaning to Jerking Off…….Oh what a feeling, I wonder if his rhythm was interrupted….
Is this anything like hiking naked in Switzerland?
Everyone should have a hobby. This man has two.
And he was doing all this at the age of 55. He was probaably thinking “At my age, who knows when I’ll get another chance to bounce on a trampoline and masturbate again?”
Probably a lifelong dream.
hahahahahahahhahhahahhahahhahahahhahhaha!
yes, this is true terror!
hahahhahahha!
Now, that’s a skill I’ve yet to learn.
mr. ed.
I think that this is one skill I don’t want to try and master…..there was a time in my life that I might have tried it….
In the story it says that if he did not obey the order of probation he would be removed from the community, what does that mean?

Sent to prison, to be someone else’s sex toy.
He was actually a triple threat. Most people don’t realize that he was simultaneously chewing gum. But I suspect that the world record holder can also text at the same time.

LOL!
Has anyone caught Burden walking and chewing gum AND…?
A novel offence? Not in Scottish law.
Er, that would be putting someone in “a state of fear and alarm.” Not displaying versatility on a trampoline . . .
