PHOENIX (Reuters) - An Arizona yoga
instructor accused of letting boys as young as 11 fondle her breasts at
a bar mitzvah party was acquitted of all charges on Wednesday, court
officials said.
Lindsey Ann Radomski, 33, was found not guilty of 18 misdemeanor charges
in Scottsdale, Arizona, city court stemming from the incident involving
seven boys at a suburban Phoenix home in March 2015. |

The six-member
jury deliberated for three hours before issuing the not guilty
verdict on 10 counts of public sexual indecency and indecent
exposure following a seven-week trial, officials said.
A judge then immediately cleared Radomski of the remaining
counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child and
disorderly conduct. In Arizona city courts, those misdemeanor
accusations are handled by judges, not juries.
“I’m just incredibly happy it’s over – thank God,” Radomski told
reporters outside the courthouse following the verdicts.
She had faced up to six months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
Radomski was arrested last year after the boys' parents told
police she exposed her breasts at a poolside gathering attended
by about 100 people.
She later was accused of inviting seven boys aged 11 through 15
to touch her breasts while she was in a bedroom at the house
after becoming intoxicated and being sent there to “sleep it
off.”
Radomski had admitted to detectives that she exposed her
breasts, but she told them that she did not remember other
details "due to her intoxicated state."
