Fifteen
men arrested in Tennessee park after police sting

Fifteen men were arrested in a Knoxville, Tenn., park after a sting revealed the spot to be a meeting place for gay sex. CBS TV affiliate WVLT in Knoxville reported Tuesday that the 14 of the 15 men, ages ranging from 33 to 62, were charged with indecent exposure and some also with drug possession, resisting arrest, and assault. One was charged with disorderly conduct.

Police told the station that gays in Knoxville have been gathering in Tyson Park and that this was not the first time arrests have been made for indecent exposure in the city. According to the report, police arrested men five years ago in another park when children living adjacent to the area spotted them. (The Advocate)
