Oregon Library Girl Pleads Not Indecent

Remember Kendra Sunderland, the former Oregon State University student whose weak attempt at internet porn filmed in the school library made national news? I figured that sensible people at OSU and Corvallis would find a way to drop the charges and be done with this and not make any more national news. Alas (for them), no, they have gone ahead and filed misdemeanor indecency charges against her:

Indecency Charge Filed Against Library Cam Girl

2/26 UPDATE: In a court appearance this afternoon, Sunderland entered a not guilty plea to the misdemeanor public indecency charge. She is next due in court on April 28. When first questioned by police, Sunderland copped to the X-rated web cam performance, adding that she was “not sure which of her customers posted the video to the Internet,” according to a police report. Sunderland also reportedly admitted that she “sometimes herself gets pleasure from seeing the webcams.”

Don't ever talk to the police!

FEBRUARY 24--Prosecutors have filed a public indecency charge against the former Oregon State University student who last month filmed an X-rated webcam show inside the school’s main library, according to court records.

Kendra Sunderland, 19, was named last week in a misdemeanor criminal information filed in Circuit Court in Benton County.

The February 17 charging document alleges that Sunderland, a Corvallis resident, “did and with the intent of arousing the sexual desire of defendant or another person, expose her genitals” while inside the university’s Valley Library. Investigators allege that Sunderland’s lewd performance occurred on the evening of January 27 while she was seated at a desk on the library’s sixth floor.

And if the video is accurate, that's pretty much what happened.

 While Sunderland has attended Oregon State, she is not currently registered for classes. She previously studied human development and family science, according to university records.

Much like  Steve Jobs, Kendra chose not to finish college, but go into the internet business, and while early returns may be deceiving, she seems to be succeeding:

Sunderland has embraced the notoriety stemming from her illicit library antics. While continuing her webcam business, she has posed for Playboy, signed a deal to front for a sugar daddy web site, and done radio and TV interviews.

Her Twitter account--which now has more than 74,000 followers--features a steady stream of racy photos and career updates (most of which include the hashtag “#LibraryGirl”). In a message yesterday, Sunderland reported, “Holy shit! I'm the 56th most popular pornstar on @Pornhub.” (2 pages)

According to Gawker:

Sunderland appears to a professional "cam girl," which means the video was likely recorded by one of her customers and uploaded without her permission. According to thesleuths at Reddit, she worked for MyFreeCams.com under the user name babyyygirl420.

Well, we can't all be chemists, marine biologists and oceanographers.

I still think she should be sentenced to a bare bottomed public spanking which should be videotaped, and released on YouTube. And the earning of it should go to the library.
