A judge in Maine has ruled that women can jog naked in public.
Two students at the University of Maine were charged with indecency after their naked run on November 2.
The law says an offence is committed only if the genitals are knowingly exposed in public. The judge said women's genitals are primarily internal.
Debra Ballou of Island Falls and Kathryn Mann, of Fayetteville, New York conducted their own defence.
They asked only one question of the only prosecution witness - the police officer who arrested them.
Ms Ballou, 20, asked officer John Ewing whether he saw her genitals during the incident.
"Not that I recall," he replied.
"That's all I have," Ms Ballou told the court.
After he made his ruling, Judge Jesse Gunther, of the 3rd District Court in Bangor added: "I would assume the legislature will probably be addressing this issue."

I agree. This should be allowed.
