    'I will be appealing': Naturist fined £315 for naked ramble at beauty spot

    A rambler who headed for the hills in nothing but his birthday suit, a baseball cap and a pair of boots has been fined £315.

    Nigel Keer, 41, was found guilty of a public order offence and causing distress to a female dogwalker while out and about at Otley Chevin in Leeds - a popular beauty spot.

    Keer, of Leeds, had denied the offence.

    The court heard the committed naturist had kept a score while on his stroll on October 2 last year to see if he scored a positive or negative reaction. At the time of his arrest by an off-duty police officer the score was 15-0 in his favour.

    Magistrates in Leeds heard he carried out the arrest after he saw a woman looking at Keer with 'a disgusted frown'.

    Keer maintained he did not mean to cause offence.



    'It is not what I wanted. It is not right. I do not believe it is right and I will be appealing,' he told Press Association after the hearing.

    'Of course I will carry on being a naturist. I have been a naturist for seven years.'

    The hearing was also told Keer had raised money for charity by doing the Three Peaks Challenge naked and attending naked bike rides across the country.

      He was prosecuted in Leeds, yet when I had my purse nicked in Leeds city centre, even though my husband positively identified the suspect, and she admitted to being there (and had allegedly committed a string of similar offences) the CPS said it wasn't in the public interest to presecute her.

        Maybe you should have asked her to take her clothes off.

        Makes you want to take the law into your own hands. Law without justice is a joke!

        Just another reason to want to avoid Leeds: the ugly, fat disobedient child of York and Harrogate.

        Can you not be serious for once in your life, we are born naked and therefore should have the right to be naked wherever and whenever we like.

        wearing trousers like that originated in an american jail as a covert way of advertising for bottom love.If only these scruffy idle chavs realised!

      "I will be appealing" . . . . not naked you won't . . . not ever.
    • Rob  •  St Albans, England  •  3 months ago
      So he was keeping score? Perhaps he should realise the 15 that said "What a pr**k!" weren't actually paying him a compliment.

      I'm not against naturism at all but being a woman, if I saw a naked man walking by when I was on my own I would feel very threatened, mainly because I don't know he's a naturist (being a stranger), he could just be a pervert and be turned on by the shock value so I can see the woman's point. If I was with a man I wouldn't bother as much and probably laugh it off.

      “I will be appealing” he shouted in the road, “Not to us” the ladies laughed, “dream on, you chubby old toad”.

    • C  •  Manchester, England  •  3 months ago
      Amazed to see no posts regarding hanging him. This must be a first!!
    • A Yahoo! User  •  3 months ago
      He should be free to do it in the privacy of his own home - with the curtains pulled! Not what most of want to see in public I'm sure.
    • James  •  3 months ago
      i admire his balls!
    • Anonymous  •  3 months ago
      I don't think he's appealing
    • hugh janus  •  Ilford, England  •  3 months ago
      If we were meant to walk around naked, we would have born that way.
