Cairns man arrested for having sex with sex dolls

Sunday, January 25, 2009

This is off topic, but this is the kind of story that is so bizarre that normally I would be writing about it as an “Only in America”, but this is an “Only in Queensland” one instead.

A 23 year old man from the Cairns suburb of Manunda has been charged with breaking and entering the Laneway Adult Shop in Cairns. The allegation is that he broke in several times, stole some blow up dolls, and a sex toy,blew some of the dolls up and had sex with them in the laneway outside the shop. On one occasion he is alleged to have stolen 5 dolls, and had sex with one of them in the laneway.

What? Did he take only the good looking ones home?

Apparently he was a discriminating sex doll thief- his preference was for a sex doll called Jungle Jane!

For a link to the Cairns Post with photos of the shop including a photo of a deflated, apparently used sex doll, click here.

Not surprisingly, the news has reached the world stage.

International Surrogacy Parentage: Why Children Need a Global Convention

Can Children Born Through Surrogacy Have Secure Parentage Worldwide?

International surrogacy is a global reality. Advances in assisted reproductive technology, combined with cross-border family formation, mean children are being born through surrogacy in jurisdictions with very different laws and values. That diversity creates a legal and human-rights problem: how can the parentage and identity of these children be protected consistently and quickly across borders?… Read More »Can Children Born Through Surrogacy Have Secure Parentage Worldwide?
