HARRISBURG, PA — A court has ruled two pictures of scantily clad women a parolee drew for a tattoo artist should not have caused the man’s return to prison for violating parole.Michael A. Hubler was kicked out of a halfway house in December 2007 and returned to state prison after the drawings were found in his possession. He sued to regain his freedom, saying the drawings represented tattoos he wanted to get.
According to court records, one image depicted a woman wearing a bra and G-string with the words “Daddy’s Girl” written above her head, and the other showed a woman with an assault weapon squatting in short-shorts and a cut-off T-shirt.
A three-judge panel of the Commonwealth Court ruled Hubler’s parole should not have been revoked, because the drawings depicted no explicit sexual activity or exposed any body parts defined as pornographic in state law.
