South African artist Steven Cohen has been found guilty by a French court of sexual exhibitionism after dancing with a rooster tied to his penis in Paris.
Mr. Cohen was arrested last September, after being seen performing a dance in a square beside the Eiffel Tower, while wearing a corset, stockings, platform shoes, a feathered head-dress, made from a stuffed pheasant, with his penis attached to a rooster. He was jailed for 10 hours, interrogated and had to give a DNA sample and undergo psychiatric evaluation. Though prosecutors had requested a $1400 fine, the criminal court imposed no penalty on Mr. Cohen, as there had been no formal complaint and the artist had not engaged in a sexual act
with the rooster.
