U.S. Judge sentences men to dress as women
(from Reuters - 29 October 2001)
Two men were given the choice of a jail sentence or dressing up as women...
COSHOCTON, Ohio - Two Ohio men who threw beer bottles at a woman in a car have paid the price -- they had to parade through the centre of their hometown dressed as women.
Jason Householder, 23, and John Stockum, 21, walked around downtown Coshocton, population 12,000, for an hour Friday afternoon wearing dresses, wigs and makeup.
Coshocton County Municipal Judge David Hostetler passed the sentence on October 18, telling the men they could either comply with his order or go to jail for 60 days after being convicted of criminal damage. He also fined them $250 each.
Hostetler, who often imposes unorthodox sentences, says he does so because of overcrowding in the Coshocton County Jail.
