Has anyone an update on the status of Gypsy Taub, who apparently is still jailed for some 10 months in San Francisco. Gypsy Taub organised a series of naked marches against the public nudity ban of the City Council from the Castro District. The last event was held in February this year. The most noteworthy was one marking the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love ( 2017) The charges that she is held under do not directly relate to her activism. Speaking for myself here I cannot fathom why this matter has gone on and on without any resolution. Surely if someone is charged they appear in Court and a decision is made.
Funny that, I was just thinking about her a day or two ago and did a search......couldnt find out much tho. Brave lady who stands by her guns!! Used to love watching her nude interviews and talks.
If she's being held without being tried and convicted of a crime, that becomes an illegal dentention, which, if she has a good lawyer, she should be entitled to $squillions in compensation !!!
The other issue is the bail amount, some $345k, a quite impossible figure to raise, which can be sidestepped if she pleads guilty. That doesn't seem correct to me that you please guilty to something you believe you are innocent of to get out of jail.
For those interested, there is a fascinating collection of images of the recent nude marches and rallies on Flickr and a video on Youtube

I just read that she is still in jail and her bail amount is some $2M US!! Absolutely shocking the way she is being treated. My Naked Truth TV
The further adventures of Gypsy Taub: (from Wikipedia) Taub attended a Montana Rainbow Gathering, where she met Jaymz Smith, who was 20 at the time and came from Jackson, Missouri. The two were engaged in Berkeley, California and married via a nude wedding protest at City Hall on December 19, 2013.Time magazine later listed the wedding as one of "The 17 Most Intriguing Weddings of All Time". Taub and Smith lived in a flat in Berkeley until splitting up in December 2015. Taub also had a sporadic relationship with David DePape, who was later charged in the attack on Paul Pelosi in 2022. DePape lived with Taub and Smith for some time, and he served as a father figure to Taub's three children. He was also a best man at Taub's wedding with Smith. Taub attended the first day of DePape's trial, along with her two adult children whom DePape helped raise. In 2019, Taub was arrested and charged for attempted child abduction, stalking, and child abuse relating to a 14-year-old boy who had been friends with her son. Despite court orders, Taub had sent numerous messages to the boy and attempted to have him run away from his mother, who was seeking a restraining order against Taub. In 2021, Taub was convicted on all charges relating to the case and sentenced to four years in state prison. Taub was paroled in April 2023.
