Is it still public indecency if nobody sees you?

Kendra Sunderland, 19, is facing a charge of public indecency after allegedly masturbating on film in the library of Oregon State University, the Oregonian reports. If convicted, she could face up to a one-year sentence or a $6,250 fine.

University officials found out about the video on Tuesday. When confronted by investigators, Sunderland allegedly copped to shooting the video last October.

The 31-minute film -- filmed using a webcam on a laptop -- was posted on Pornhub, but has since been taken down from the adult site.

Sunderland is a former student at the university, but has not registered for classes for the current term, according to The Smoking Gun.

“I was surprised someone was in our library doing that,” OSU student Shelby Wilson told KEZI. “I feel like it’s always packed. I don’t know how anyone could get away with it.”

I mean, it's not like she got caught or something. Why the fine?

If it was on video, she got caught and someone saw her -____-

If she was on camera, then it was public.

Yes, but those people went into her room to watch her.

I suppose.
But she was witnessed in a public place, doing something illegal.

I don't agree with any sort of sentence on the matter, but there's enough there for the law to catch her out, as silly as it may be.

So these are the fucking gay ass threads you have when Anarchy is up?

Wow.

Why would I want to be associated with Anarchy?

Why is public masturbation equivalent to spending a year in prison or having to pay $6250? I don't see the logic in that.

It shouldn't be if nobody saw you at the time you were preforming the act.
