IIRC someone can be sectioned when they are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others and have a treatable mental illness. I don't know that this guy qualifies, he certainly isn't a danger, to himself or others.
The 'Naked Rambler' jailed for 22 months, following arrest within 60 seconds of his release!

Nah, you can get Anglican priests as well. And vicars general in the RC church. Edit, but yes broadly speaking it's as you say
Not the first time I've been wrong about something, it's gotta be said.
But yeah, it was CofE.

So many particulars. So many questions.
but is he not by his nakedness signalling the fact that his crown jewels will be on display? no doubt shrunken by cold and almost entirely hidden by his manbush?
It's not an act of transgressive behavior to unleash that which already has no leash. He's not sidling up in a dirty mac and then exposing himself in order to get his jollies. He just doesn't like clothes. We have all been there, aged four and not liking this clothes thing. Let him go.

On that aged 4 note - I wonder what the concerned cut off point, age wise, for nudity is.

What about in the countryside/beach?

Without getting mailish about it you can be nicked for pics of your own naked children in the paddling pool. Strange days.
Dunno. I doubt many people risk their kids being naked in those places nowadays due to paedo mania.

Can you? Blimey.
Yep. Child porn innit.

I'm assuming there needs to be a particular mens rea for that though?

means you are basically responsible for somebody elses hard on over kid pics. Welcome to the free world
There was that controversy over that female artist who took photos of her daughter in the bath. Although they were for exhibition so that might change things compared with family snaps.

Not sure about that. Got any links?
I seem to remember some case where an overeager photo processing bod called the fuzz over some family photos, but not the OB nicking anyone for innocent pics of their own kids.

iirc they pulled that exhibition.

When people primarily photographed with film, they sent their films to a lab (Boots, Truprint.. whatever) to be developed. There were a few high profile cases of the lab reporting images of children to the police and the photographer then having their collars felt. One was a woman in Wales who photographed her kid in the bath IIRC, her case was quite public for a while. Now with digital photography so popular I imagine that old route to a prosecution is much reduced.

nope. Its just happened to someone I used to know. Take my word for it or don't- but recall that the law currently can have someone up as participant in assault if they were tied, bent over and whipped soundly in a consensual manner. Its not a logical thing, law.
You could argue that by being naked in public he is at risk of violence against him. I believe a member of his family claimed he was mentally unwell, in fact it may have been his wife/partner.

Oh I think probably "the light is on but there is no one home" mentally. I am sure it would not break a real agenda to wear a pair of shorts on entering a town or something. His going naked immediately on leaving prison resulting in immediate re-arrest does not seem to me to be the action of a person who is completely well.
But as to whether he has some recognisable condition it is less clear, perhaps he is just rather odd

In what circumstances? What was the offence?

Was he under an ASBO when he was arrested? I do wonder if his military background has affected his mental wellbeing?

father of three autistic kids, churchgoing man. Production and distribution of. Thats not the name of a proper charge is it?
He was held up though-they racked him sorely. Dead of heart attack six years later because he had a shit ticker.
No idea how or why OB got involved, but he did publish the photos on his church blog.
Will ask ma- regardless the laws can be read in a manner to nick someone like he.

Julia Somerville (new reader) arrested in a relevant case in 1995 - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/julia-somerville-defends-innocent-family-photos-1538516.html
That story gives the impression that the law is pretty badly defined on the subject when applied to family photos.
Not been able to find anything more up-to-date though.
