A Delaware judge on Friday ordered a man who twice exposed himself to a 10-year-old girl at his workplace to wear a T-shirt with the words: “I am a registered sex offender” in bold letters, a prosecutor said. Russell Teeter, 69, who pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent exposure, also was sentenced to 60 days in jail by Superior Court Judge Jan Jurden in Wilmington. Deputy Attorney General Donald Roberts said he requested the unusual T-shirt punishment because he was concerned about Teeter exposing himself to children at the gardening business he runs with his wife.

Enforcing mandatory t-shirt flogging looks seems like a new punishment for the legal system. As much as I would think that people who detest wearing something like this in public, my gut feeling is that one of the “hip” clothing manufacturers will add the item to next seasons stupid slogan t-shirt line.
