NEWPORT NEWS, Va., June 25 (UPI) -- A Virginia woman charged under the state's felony crimes against nature law has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of indecent exposure.

Keia Horton, 22, was arrested Jan. 29 for having oral sex with a man in a parked car. Her partner pleaded guilty to the lesser charge.

But, she wanted to challenge the crimes against nature law as unconstitutional, the Hampton Roads Daily Press said Friday.

The statute says people can't have oral or anal sex, whether homosexual or heterosexual. But, the law doesn't specify whether the sex is illegal in public or in private.

However, Horton said she thought it over and decided the misdemeanor route was a better way to go. She drew a 90-day jail sentence that was suspended pending good behavior for a year Thursday.

"Take it in the house next time," she offered as advice to others. "They can't come up to your window with a flashlight."
