Modern Godiva Evades Law in Nude Street Strolls

NORWALSZ Calif April. The tale of Norwilk s modern lady Godiva was uncovered today and embarrassed as sheriff s deputies admit the young woman has managed to elude capture. She has been seen prancing around East Whittisr and the east part of Orange County. Yesterday a caller described a red haired nude woman strolling a street, but deputies note the description differs from others who say she is prim, pretty and 20. Many calls came from women who gasped at her smiling behavior. Deputies quote reports of her lying in an orange grove wearing panties only, then undressing behind a tree and putting on a bra before removing panties again. Lawmen are unsure if spring is bringing a repeat nude exhibitor, noting a prior Los Angeles nude woman case from about a year ago with no arrest. Police lament that cars license numbers were not secured by onlookers.
