LA radio station in trouble for naked prank

A Los Angeles radio DJ could face prosecution for encouraging a 17-year-old boy to walk around naked.

Police are also considering charging the boy who did the stunt in order to win concert tickets. The radio station, KPWR-FM, may also be charged.

The boy was arrested on suspicion of intentional and public exposure, according to a police spokesman.

He said: "These stunts should be a matter of common sense and responsibility by the participants and the station itself.

"In this case, however, the behaviour was not only audacious but illegal."

Police say the boy was encouraged by DJ Joe Grande, who is known for getting people to perform what the station calls a "dare of the day".

Grande asked people to "do something crazy" to win tickets to a concert by the band P3.

"While at the location, Grande announced live on air that he wanted someone to remove all of their clothes and walk to all four corners of the intersection naked," the spokesman said.

The boy, who allegedly told station workers he was 18, offered to perform the stunt.

Police say they received complaints of a male exposing himself to a school bus and to families driving to school.
