Syracuse, NY --A couple is in hot water for a risque display during a charity boat parade geared towards children.
Misdemeanor public lewdness charges have been filed against a man and a woman from Brewerton.
Troopers used video footage shot by a spectator to identify the couple. The tape shows a topless woman wearing a strand of Christmas lights spanking a man on his bare behind during last month's Christmas Parade of Boats on the Seneca River, just north of Syracuse.
After the parade, organizers received several calls from angry spectators. One of them provided a videotape.
The parade organizer says it never occurred to her that she would have to inform people not to appear nude in a kids' parade.
