(673)  NAKED RAMBLER UPDATE

 

Steve Gough the Naked Rambler picked up his eleventh breach of the peace conviction on 4 September 2007.  Once again it was due to his leaving Saughton Prison in an unclad state at the end of a previous sentence, whereupon he was rearrested.  This took place on 31 July.  Evidence showed that there were several members of the public present on this occasion apart from the police who performed the arrest.  Sheriff Kathrine Mackie sentenced Gough to a further 83 days inside.  This will take him to almost 16 months’ imprisonment, or the equivalent of a three-year jail sentence.
