The Naked Rambler Jailed For 11 Months

Stephen Gough, better known as the Naked Rambler, has been jailed for breaking an order to not appear naked in public.

The 53-year-old has been jailed for 11 months for breaching an interim asbo issued in February. Gough was ordered to cover his genitalia and buttocks when appearing in public.

Mr Gough was not allowed into Southampton Crown Court for his brief trial as he refused to put on clothes.

It is understood that in February, when issued with the interim asbo telling him to cover up, Mr Gough left the court in just his boots and socks. Refusing clothes offered to him by police, he was arrested on the steps of the court.
