Texas court says stranger OK to photograph kids in swimsuits

[TexasTowelie]

A man who investigators said photographed children in 2011 at a San Antonio water park should not face an improper photography charge because the Texas law is unconstitutional, the Fourth Court of Appeals has ruled.

Ronald Thompson, 50, was arrested in July 2011 at Sea World of Texas after concerned parents reported him swimming with and taking pictures of children ages 3 to 11, according to a statement from Bexar County District Attorney Susan D. Reed.

"When approached by park security, Thompson attempted to delete the photographs on his camera before it was seized," Reed said in the statement. "Police examination of the camera revealed 73 photographs of children in swimsuits, with most of the photographs targeting the children's breast and buttocks areas."

Thompson was indicted by a grand jury on 26 felony counts of violating the Texas Improper Photography statute.
