Anthony
Anderson, a former
soldier in the
British army, was sentenced in October, 2007 to
three years in prison for
urinating on a dying woman in July, 2007 in
Hartlepool,
UK. The victim, a 50-year-old
named
Christine Lakinski, was suffering from
fatal
pancreatic failure. According to news
reports, Lakinski suffered from
curvature of the spine and
learning difficulties, and was
bullied throughout her life.
Anderson is notable
as being one of the only people to ever be tried and convicted for
a crime of this sort. His actions brought a renewed interest in the
potential for public video uploading sites like YouTube to be a
cause of antisocial behavior, as people like Anderson can be led to
commit shocking acts with the goal of YouTube-fame in
mind.
Anderson, who was 27 at the time, dumped a bucket of water
on her and smeared
shaving cream on her body before he began
urinating on her. A friend of his was
video taping the incident on his mobile phone. He is
reported to have yelled "This is
YouTube material!"
