THIS WOMAN MUST HAVE SO MANY SKELETONS IN HER CUPBOARD

I know some women like older men, but this is ridiculous. A 37-year-old Swedish woman with an admitted obsession with skeletons has been convicted of disturbing the peace of the dead for allegedly using human bones for sexual purposes. In issuing its ruling the Gothenburg District Court also convicted the woman of weapons crimes, sentencing her to probation and ordering that she undergo treatment for addiction and psychiatric problems. The woman has continually denied committing any crimes, telling the local newspaper that she is an "odd bird" but that she is "not sexually interested in necrophilia." She had argued that she acquired the skeletons legally and that she handled the bones in a respectful manner and that her actions weren't covered by Sweden's laws against disturbing the peaceof the dead. But the woman was found to have kept some bones scattered on the floor in her home, stored skulls in plastic bags, and to have sold some bones to others. "Criminal protection starts when aperson dies, and the protection remains as long as there are remains of the deceased," the court wrote in a statement. According to the court, the 37-year-old handled the human bones "ignominiously", something which is prohibited by Sweden's laws against disturbing the peace of the dead. However, the court threw out a charge stemming from allegations that she had stored human skulls in her freezer and used human bones for sexual purposes. While the 37-year-old was facing up to two years in prison, the court ruled that her lack of criminal record and the nature of her crimes meant she should not be jailed, but instead be sentenced to probation.
