Bizarre as woman faces going to jail for going topless in her own home

A woman is facing jail after she went topless in her own home. Tilli Buchanan, 27, from Utah, USA, was with her husband Jared and his three children when she removed her top.

The couple had been installing insulation in their garage when they stripped down to their underwear.

Ms Buchanan told the kids not to be "embarrassed" as there was no difference between her being topless and their father.

But the story reportedly got back to the children's mother, who made a complaint that has ended up with Buchanan in court.

However West Valley City Deputy Attorney Corey Sherwin said Buchanan stripped down in front of her stepchildren after announcing that if her husband was allowed to take off his shirt, then a woman should be able to as well, according to  Mail Online.

The prosecution case continues that Buchanan, while “under the influence of alcohol,” had told her husband that she would only put her shirt back on if he showed her his penis.

Buchanan faces three counts of lewdness involving a child, which is a class A misdemeanour that could not only land her in jail and see her placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years.

Utah state law covering lewdness involving a child says that no woman should expose their breast “below the top of the areola,” either in public or “in a private place under circumstances the person should know will likely cause affront or alarm or with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of the actor or the child.”
