When deities go bad.

Sounds like it's from the Onion, but unfortunately it's not.

A funeral home employee discovered Allah Saturday on top of the corpse with his pants around his ankles, passed out drunk, according to police spokesman Dewayne Tully. [...] He is being charged with two counts of sexual assault upon a person who is unconscious or unaware and one count of burglary.

Update (4/24, 12:28 am): The DA's office only charged Mr. Allah with two counts of trespassing and one count of stolen property, because it turns out there aren't actually any laws on the books in California that say it's illegal to have sex with corpses. Can't dig 'em up, you can't mutilate 'em, but for the time being, Golden Staters can still make sweet love to cadavers.

[Asst. DA] Ivancevich said that the maximum sentence for possession of stolen property is three years but that it was unlikely Allah would get the full sentence since the stolen property was only a key. There is even the slight possibility that Allah could get off with probation and time served if he is convicted of the current charges.

Awww, c'mon, they don't have a single genereic citation for something like "desecrating the deceased?" What kind of lousy state is that?
