Holocaust denier exposed genitals in naked workout

-

A NOTORIOUS Holocaust denier has avoided prison for exposing his genitals in public while exercising.

Germar Rudolf, 55, was found guilty of open lewdness and indecent exposure after a two- day trial in York County, Pennsylvan­ia.

Rudolf ( above) was given two years’ probation.

Jurors were not told about his background as a Holocaust denier, defence attorney Rick Robinson said, as it had nothing to do with his case.

Rudolf is not considered a sexual offender because it wasn’t alleged he tried to expose himself to anyone for the purpose of sexual gratificat­ion, Robinson said.

A cop had spotted Rudolf, naked from the waist down, exercising in a beauty spot.

“His position at the time was that it’s OK to exercise naked in public in Germany,” David Arnold, chief of police in Lower

Windsor Township, Pennsylvan­ia, said.

“Chief Arnold went on: “Well, it ain’t legal here!”

German- born Rudolf, who now lives in Red Lion, Pennsylvan­ia, has been prosecuted several times in his homeland for denying the Holocaust.
