SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Having sex with corpses is now officially illegal in California after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) signed a bill barring necrophilia, a spokeswoman said on Friday.
The new legislation marks the culmination of a two-year drive to outlaw necrophilia in the state and will help prosecutors who have been stymied by the lack of an official ban on the practice, according to experts.
"Nobody knows the full extent of the problem. ... But a handful of instances over the past decade is frequent enough to have a bill concerning it," said Tyler Ochoa, a professor at Santa Clara University School of Law who has studied California cases involving allegations of necrophilia.
"Prosecutors didn't have anything to charge these people with other than breaking and entering. But if they worked in a mortuary in the first place, prosecutors couldn't even charge them with that," Ochoa said.
The state's first attempt to outlaw necrophilia, in response to a case of a man charged with having sex with the corpse of a 4-year-old girl in Southern California, stalled last year in a legislative committee.
Lawmakers revived the bill this year after an unsuccessful prosecution of a man found in a San Francisco funeral home drunk and passed out on top of an elderly woman's corpse.
The new law makes sex with a corpse a felony punishable by up to eight years in prison.

So you can't smoke in public, and now you can't even treat yourself to a cold one. What's the country coming to?
LOL, ugh!
Lolololol, I'm sorry but this is too damn funny!
That ain't funny, that is sick. On the whole, it is a sad statement that a law is needed.
At least he's not scraping maggots off the corpses nether regions to do the deed.
Ooops, didn't read the whole article. I assume that you will chastize everyone else as well....
I considered posting something along this line but hesitated. Perhaps it's just as well.
You could have tried a different tack, such as, "Everybody loves some body sometime."
No, I intended no chastization, I can understand, in general, how someone could find humor, but the part about a dead 4 year old girl's body being used for such purposes is sickening.
Last week I posted an article about a guy getting busted for porking a porker. That was so humorous to me I could just about hear the banjo music.
LOL, LOL, LOL ! I spill my beer all over the key board. Very funny post . . .
