DTL (04-15) 11:26 PDT ROLLING HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- . A law against adultery in this Los Angeles suburb will soon be history. The City Council voted Monday to repeal an old ordinance that prohibited immoral conduct, including extramarital sex. The law was passed after the city incorporated in 1957. "So this is a pro -adultery thing?" joked Councilman James Black in an interview with the Daily Breeze before the meeting. "Good for us!" The ordinance banned immoral conduct defined as "any person exposing his or her person or the private parts thereof; or the doing of any other act with the intent of arousing, appealing to or gratifying the lust or passions or sexual desires of any person to whom he or sheds not married." Violating the law could result in a $250 fine or three months in jail, or both. The repeal issue arose when a resident scouring the municipal code mentioned it at council candidates forum. They were unsure if anyone had been cited for breaking the law and why it was enacted. "Why this particular law has been dormant and allowed to remain on the books all these years is anyone's guess," City Attorney Mike Jenkins said. "I can only venture to say that when a new city incorporates it's not unusual for it to borrow heavily from an already existing city for its municipal code so they don't have to start from scratch. I doubt it had anything to do with the rate of adultery in Rolling Hills." Local laws criminalizing sexual behavior were superseded by a California Supreme Court decision in 1962 that ruled the state has authority over such matters, Jenkins said. The ordinance will be formally repealed at the end of May, 30 days after the repeal is given a second reading on April 28. Rolling Hills is a Palos Verdes Peninsula community of 1,900. ©2003 Associated Press 1 of 1 4/16/03 8:07 AM z 0 I PAe \r rUNer,e.

In what appears to me as a blatant ploy to get Clinton to relocate his offices to Rolling Hills, California, the city has repealed a 46 -year -old ordinance that made adultery a crime.

Patrick Henry Broadcasting Corporation copyright ©2003 Studio Cam Something Worth Considering Forums Wednesday, April 16, 2003 I'm sure you've heard about those old laws on the books that are still on the books, but no longer apply to today's circumstances. Well, the city council of an affluent gated town in southern California has repealed an official ban on immorality, giving legitimacy to those who might commit adultery within city limits. The repeal also gives the wealthy youngsters of the town legal freedom - at least on a municipal level - to engage in premarital sex. On Monday, the Rolling Hills City Council voted to take the 46 -year -old ordinance banning "immoral conduct" off the books. The council members claim they are not endorsing the breaking of the seventh commandment, but simply doing away with an archaic, unenforceable law. The statute was the second one adopted by the city when it was first incorporated in 1957. A resident of the city, which has 1,900 residents, spotted the law when perusing the municipal code and mentioned it at a city council meeting. Nearby Torrance, Calif., has a 1924 ordinance banning unmarried men and women from living together - or occupying the same hotel room - in the city. That one is still on the books. Tuesday, April 15, 2003 Yesterday was a big day for Martinsville and Henry County, and yet, the biggest event in town went largely unnoticed. The Virginia Museum of Natural History announced a tentative schedule Monday for construction of an 89,500 -square -foot building on Starling Avenue in that vacant lot where our Hospital used to be. The construction, funded by a $14.8 million state bond issue, is scheduled to begin by January . The new building is expected to open in January 2006. The museum will begin seeking bids from contractors this month. Interim museum director Judy Watson apparently issued a statement Monday, but you must have had to have been on a group of a selected list to get notification. I learned about it from today's Roanoke Times, I haven't heard it anywhere else. The selective nature of the Museum staffers is about to get more selective in short order as trustees are planning to launch an $8 million capital campaign to cover costs of exhibits for the new museum building and they're going to ask you for the money. I'm glad we've got the museum, I know how hard we've fought for it, and how hard our local legislators have worked to make sure the museum happens here and not in Roanoke, or Richmond, or some affluent area of Northern Virginia. Still, I'm bothered about the fact that these prehistoric birds over on Douglas Street might make Martinsville home, but don't claim it.

They will no longer be subject to a jail term for, gratifying the "lust or passions" of a member of the opposite sex to whom they were not married. A law stretching back to the 1950s made it an offence for any unmarried men or women in Rolling Hills to have sex in a "bed, car, structure or public place". Violators were subject to three months in jail or a $250 (£175) fine. Introduced at the time that the area was incorporated as a city, the law has remained on the books until it was spotted recently by a local resident, Richard Colyear, who was leafing through the municipal code in preparation for a city council candidates meeting. City officials said this week that removing the law was a formality because the state had taken over all sex offence legislation in 1962. But the Rolling Hills code will now be amended to reassure any nervous couple slipping into the back seat of their Mustang in this expensive suburb just to the west of Long Beach. Puritanical attitudes to sex and hypocrisy were at their height in Los Angeles when the law was first introduced. In 1950, the actress Ingrid Bergman was denounced on the floor of the Senate as "Hollywood's apostle of degradation" and a "free -love cultist" for leaving her husband and becoming pregnant by the Italian film director Roberto Rosselini. Bergman did not make another American movie for seven years. Earlier, in the 1930s, the Hays Office had been founded to restrict the burgeoning sexual content in Hollywood films. The 1941 film Kings Row, which helped a young actor by called Ronald Reagan to make his mark, was delayed by the office because of its depiction of "illicit relations" and "much loose sex everywhere". It was in the same spirit, it seems, that the guardians of morality in Rolling Hills passed their ordinance. The law forbade anyone from arousing or appealing to the "lust or passions" of anyone who was not their spouse. 1 of 2 4/21/03 4:06 PM Guardian I Adulterers can sleep easier in LA si ) that has caugh... http://www.gua ____ co.uk/Print/0,3858,4649948,00.html, But even if the ordinance was on the statute books, it would seem that police in Rolling Hills did not take their duty to uphold that particular law too seriously. Anyway, there is no record of anyone having done jail time for the offence. It is possible that the police took the view of another former LA resident, Aldous Huxley, who concluded in Antic Hay that "there are few who would not rather be taken in adultery than in provincialism".

Close Window I Print this story iafrica. comU only what you want NEWS US city strikes a blow for adultery Posted Wed, 16 Apr 2003 A tiny US city has struck a bizarre blow for the right of married couples to be unfaithful by voting to scrap a 46 -year -old law banning adultery, officials have said. The city of Rolling Hills, a plush little community of 1871 people southwest of Los Angeles, has decided to repeal the statute that threatens to punish philanderers with a fine and up to three months in jail. The city's mayor, Frank Hills, said the move was not intended to encourage Rolling Hills' spouses to be unfaithful, but was rather aimed at ridding the books of an outdated statute. "It's an antiquated law that has been there almost for half a century," he said, adding that the decision to repeal it did not mean that locals could now run morally amok. The law was integrated into Rolling Hills' rules when the eight square -kilometre city was founded in January 1957 and comes with a draconian set of restrictions on local residents' moral conduct. The law outlaws everything from exposing oneself to "arousing or appealing to anyone" or "being in any bedroom, room, car or public place" with anyone other than one's spouse "for the purpose of having sex." Such transgressions are, according to the second ordinance ever adopted by the city, punishable by a fine of up to $250 or three months behind bars or both. The origins of the law are unknown. "This is news to me," said local resident Jim Louder. "I'd have to read it first to see if I have been abiding by it." The city moved to scrap the law after a resident brought it to the council's attention, City Manager Craig Nealis said. But he stressed that scrapping the law would have no effect on local residents as it had never been enforced and that in any case the city's right to enforce personal conduct rules was taken over by the state in 1962. "This does not make adultery either legal or illegal in Rolling Hills," he said. It was just a routine step in the normal course of the city's housekeeping as most people didn't even know it existed." 1 of 2 4/21/03 4:10 PM iafrica.com 1 loveandsex 'news US city strikes )w for adultery http://www.iafrica.com/p__. ____s/iac.page?p_t1=93&p_t2=533&p_... The council was due to meet again on April 28 to give the repeal a second reading before it takes effect on May 30. But the disappearance of the strangely draconian law does not entirely strip rights -obsessed southern California of its legal colour. The Los Angeles area city of Torrance has since 1924 banned men and women who are not married from living together or from even sharing a hotel room within the city's limits. "The law still exists, but frankly its not very enforceable and we have never tried to apply it," Torrance City Attorney John Fellows said. "Any attempt to do that would probably make people angry."

Plus I knew that I'd never get my wife's permission. My wife, you see, is not nearly as for- ward -thinking as the city's councilmen who this week voted to repeal a law that has been on the books since its 1957 incorporation as "The Prettiest Gated City You Will NEVER Visit." So don't even think about it! The law, which won't officially van- ish until late May, reads: "It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in or be party to any immoral conduct in the city of Rolling Hills." Though this wishful thinking was superseded by state law in 1962, it's still interesting to think that people back then thought that they could legis- late morality. Or, worse, that they felt it necessary to do so. Only immorality then was far dirtier than present day ho -hum immorality. If, say, Madonna had been famous in 1957 it would have done her no good to cavort with males and females, some of whom were of a similar sex. But the fact is, without the cavorting, we never would have heard of her. I for one am disappointed that her • bleachy blondness is suddenly mom-ing out. What's next, conservative Madon- na, fundamentalist Madonna? I say this because many famous ca- vorters, several saints among them, are often the ones who straighten up just in time to save others from having fun. Which makes me wonder about that 1957 RH City Council, a bunch not con- tent to let things rest with merely for- bidding immoral conduct. No, they had to ban sex both premar- . ital and non$iarital within city limits while defini0 immoral conduct as, "The act of apy person occupying, us- ing or being present in a bedroom, au- tomobile, structure or public place with a person of the opposite sex, to whom he or she is riot married, for the pur- pose of having.;sexual intercourse with said person . . ." Furthermore, any person stupid enough to behave in an immoral way could get a $250 fine and three months , in jail, or two days in the village stocks or 20 minutes on the dunking chair. And just when I thought that all the council's dirty talk had ended, they fur- ther defined immoral conduct as, "any person exposing his or her person or the private parts thereof or the doing of any other act with the intent of arous- ing, appealing to or gratifying the lust or passion or sexual desires of any per- son to whom he or she is not married." Just think, for the next six weeks cops could still raid a stripper -featur- ing bachelor party or try to prove that a 19 -year -old jogger in a halter top is in- tent on arousing the lust of a 50 -year - old CEO on his way to the grocery store. Of course, and this is the sad part (or the redeeming part), repealing this law doesn't make the folks of RH any more or less free to do as they please because of something I'll call mate -based moral- ity. That is to say, if you are half a cou- ple of any sort and you are caught breaking the usual covenant — the one that sounds strangely like the RH city ordinance — your life will almost cer- tainly become a.hell involving Carl "Big Tony" Capozzola or someone like him (if there is in fact someone else like him). This always conflicted, confusing and explosive end of human behavior seems to be self -policing. Still, many U.S. states and the feder- al government firmly believe that it's their business to ban certain private acts and human combinations that are certainly better left to the judgments and religious beliefs of consenting adults. Sure, the Rolling Hills ordinance sur- vived as a comical oversight but the tragedy of this kind of thinking stays with us. Now take Iraq. Go ahead, take it. But not without soldiers, airmen and sailors willing to do the taking for you, servicemen who — in many cases it was reported this week — are unable to carry into battle photos of the people they love best. So take the Rolling Hills law as a throwback, a novelty of some distant age, or take it for what it is, a reminder of where no government belongs. 023 Q.s ...

Your comment according to the article was "good for us" The article only addressed 'adultery'. Could you please tell me if the law further goes on to include such other immoral conduct such as child molestation, lewd public display, pornography, etc. I am thinking that it most surely does include such language and you being from a profoundly aberrant liberal situation cannot even recognize what you and your town proposes. I am so thankful that some parts of this Country still has enough sense to understand moral values that do not degrade any part of our daily lives to the point of self destruction such as you are going to experience at some point in your life.

Glater NEW YORKTIMES ROLLING HILLS — When Richard C. Colyear was looking for ways to encour- age the City Council to prune outdated and irrelevant legislation from the mu- nicipal code, he knew he had found the perfect argument in Title IX on "immoral conduct." According to that section, "any person occupying, using or being present in any bed, room, automobile, structure or pub- lic place with a person of the opposite sex, to whom he or she is not married, for the purpose of having sexual inter- course with such person," Is guilty of a crime punishable by up to three months In jail. Colyear asked candidates for the City Council at a pre -election meeting whether they would review the code if they were elected, but his question did not have the result he had hoped for: -On Monday, -council members did not an- nounce a review of the code overall, but they did vote to repeal the anti -adultery statute.

GLATER ROLLING HILLS, Calif., April 16 — When Richard C. Col - year was looking for ways to encourage the local City Council to prune outdated and irrel- evant legislation from the Rolling Hills municipal code, he knew he had found the perfect argument in Section IX on "immoral conduct." According to that section, "any person occupying, using or being present in any bed, room, automo- bile, structure or publi.; place with a 'person of the opposite sex, to whom he or she is not married, for the pur- pose of having sexual intercourse with such person," is guilty of a crime punishable by up to three months in jail. Mr. Colyear asked candidates for the City Council at a meeting • An old"statute falls, less quietly that some would have liked. whether they would review the code if they were elected, b,.t his ques- tion did not have the result he had hoped for. On Monday, council members did not announce a review of the code overall, but they did vote to repeal the antiadultery statute. "It kind of makes you wonder," said Mr. Colyear, a longtime Roll- ing Hills resident who added that he did not have any personal agenda in singling out the adultery statute. A retired banker who is divorced, he said he could conceivably have vio- lated the statute because during his divorce, he dated another woman. "Arguably that would've run afoul of this," he said, adding, "I try not to violate these provisions." Officials in the local government were uncomfortable discussing the repeal and did not sound happy about the attention to their gated community, which is surrounded by and filled with posh homes and well - maintained foliage in the hills southwest of Los Angeles. Craig Nealis, the city manager, emphasized that the law was never enforced and that it was adopted wholesale with other ordinances when Rolling Hills was incorporat- ed in 1957. "It's just housekeeping," Mr. Nealis said. "It's a normal process that, when we discover sections of the code that are unenforceable or need modification, we recommend that the code be updated." The adultery provision was not enforceable because only the state has the power to pass such laws, so the repeal does not make adultery any more legal now behind the gates of Rolling Hills than it was be- fore, Mr. Nealis said. (Currently, according to the state attorney gen- eral's office, there are no state laws on adultery.) Mr. Nealis added that the five members of the City Council are all happily married. Laws governing adultery or other sexual conduct are not that unusual, though many states have abolished them and they are not often en- forced. The laws are probably con- stitutional even though they regu- late private conduct, said William Eskridge, a professor at Yale Law School, because a third party, the innocent spouse, is affected. "This isn't any old third -party right," he said. "You consented to marry somebody. This is the most serious contract." Laws against adultery nonethe- less have declined in importance as the ease of no-fault divorce has in- creased, said Elizabeth Bartholet, who teaches family law at Harvard. "There's this general move in the divorce law area to say that it's bad to focus on things like adultery or to penalize people foradultery," al- though it can become an issue in de- ciding who gets custody of a child, for example, she said. The move- ment to make it easier to obtain a divorce gained momentum in the 1960's, she said, particularly in Cali- fornia. Mr. Colyear said his effort to get • the City Council to review the code started almost accidentally, when a City Council candidate in the first contested election in Rolling Hills in a decade, John Nunn, asked him what he should know before becom- ing a council member. Mr. Colyear responded that Mr. Nunn should know the code, so Mr. Nunn brought a copy of the code to Mr. Colyear and the two men reviewed it. "In flipping through the titles, you couldn't miss that Title IX was titled 'morals,' and once you saw that; you couldn't not read it," Mr. Colyear said.

With minimal comment, the City Council on Monday repealed a 46 -year -old ordinance banning "immoral conduct," which includ- ed extramarital sex — or for that matter premarital sex. "So, this is a pro -adultery thing?" joked Councilman James Black in an interview before the meeting. "Good for us!" he added with a laugh before wondering aloud whether he should make any fur- ther comment on the off -chance his wife might read the article. The council in the city of about 1,900 was not endorsing adultery, of course.. It was simply removing an archaic law — in this case the sec- ond one adopted after the city incorporated in 1957 — that is LAW/A9 LAW: Repealed ordinance dated from city's founding FROM.PAGE Al deemed unenforceable. The ordinance bans immoral conduct that it defines as "any person exposing his or her per- son or the private parts thereof; or the doing of any other act with the intent of arousing,.ap- pealing to or gratifying the lust or passions or sexual desires of any person to whom he or she is not married." Also prohibited is "the act of any person occupying, using or being present in any bed, room, automobile, structure or public place with a person of the oppo- site sex, to whom he or she is not married, for the purpose of having sexual intercourse with said person." Violating the law could result in a $250 fine and/or three months in jail. Resident spotted old law City officials heard about the ordinance after a keen -eyed res- ident scouring the' municipal code mentioned it at a recent forum for City Council candi- dates. "Why this particular law has been dormant and allowed to re- main on the books all these years is anyone's guess," said contract City Attorney Mike Jenkins of Manhattan Beach. "I frankly wasn't even aware it was in there." Jenkins recommended the or- dinance's removal. Local laws purporting to cri- minalize sexual behavior were superseded by a California Su- preme Court decision in 1962 that ruled the state has authori- ty over such matters, Jenkins said. Torrance bans cohabitation Rolling Hills isn't the' only city with laws that try to govern sexual behavior. In 1924, Torrance passed an ordinance banning unmarried men and women from living to- gether — or occupying the same hotel room — in the city. That ordinance remains on the books. It's unclear why Rolling Hills officials decided they needed the law barring adultery and pre- marital sex in the first place. Was promiscuity rampant dur- ing the Ozzie and Harriet era in Rolling Hills? Jenkins thinks not, although he acknowledged he was a mere lad in those days. "I can only venture to say that when a new city incorpo- rates it's not unusual for it to borrow heavily from an already existing city for its municipal code so they don't have to start from scratch," he said. "I doubt it had anything to do with the rate of adultery in Rolling Hills." The ordinance will be formal- ly repealed at the end of May, 30 days after the repeal is given a second reading — usually a mat- ter of routine — on April 28.

The archaic law, which could result in a 5250 fine or three months in jail, was passed after the city was incorporated in 1957.

But they no longer have to fret about fines and jail time if caught sneaking around. The City Council in the wealthy gated community perched atop the Palos Verdes Peninsula moved late Monday to repeal a 50 -year -old ordi- nance prohibiting adulterous liaisons' in beds, buildings, cars and public places. "I wasn't even aware the law •-Nas there, but we have a voluminous municipal code," said Frank Hill, the town's 67 - year -old mayor. "At my age, I remember a time when people tried to legislate such things." The ordinance was passed in the late 1950s, soon after the city was incorporated. It for- bade anyone from arousing, (See Adultery, Page B81 Rolling Hills Repeals 1950s Adultery Law [Adultery, from Page B1 ] appealing to or gratifying the "lust or passions" of anyone but their spouses. The rules also made it unlaw- ful for unmarried men and women to meet in any bed, car, structure or public place for the purpose of having sex. Violators faced fines of as much as $250 and as much as three months in City officials said they know of no residents ever charged with violating the law. And those who live in Rolling Hills say their town isn't exactly a hotbed of il- licit liaisons. Considered one of Califor- nia's most affluent communities, Rolling Hills has a median household income considerably higher than $200,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The city's population is skewed toward older residents — 26% are older than 62. "Look up 'dead' in the diction- ary," said resident John Nunn, 60, describing his town. "This is sort of the opposite of wild up here. It has absolutely no party atmosphere at all, unless it's kids finding their parents not at home and trying to have a party. But that almost never happens." The law had been long forgot- ten until a few weeks ago. Richard Colyear, 63, stum- bled on it while flipping through the municipal code in February in preparation for a City Council candidates forum. At the event, Colyear asked the candidates if they felt there was a need to remove outdated laws and used the adultery rule as an example. "I wondered why these mem- bers of City Council — many who have been here for years — would want to continue it," Colyear said. Most of the candidates at the forum expressed little interest in repealing the law, in part be- cause they believed it would take too much time, Colyear said. So he said he was surprised when the repeal proposal turned up. on the council's agenda this week. City officials in Rolling Hills said taking the law off the books was only a formality because a state law passed in 1962 took such sex -related matters out of the hands of municipalities. "It's just a matter of removing a section of code that . . . is no longer appropriate," said Craig Nealis, the city manager. "I applaud them for doing this," added Colyear, who has lived in the city for 36 years and laughs loudly whenever he reads the law. "But their enforcement has been weak, as far as I know."
