Man who tore off his trousers and clambered over press photographers towards stage is cleared of any crime
A streaker who gatecrashed the Turner prize award ceremony has been cleared of any crime.
Mark Roberts tore off his trousers and clambered over press photographers to make for the stage, just as celebrity photographer Mario Testino was about to announce Turner winner Martin Boyce's name at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead. Testino paused, then said "wow, art is everywhere", as Roberts was bundled out.
Magistrates' chairman Ray Ashley told Roberts: "Although we do not find a criminal offence has been committed, we do not condone your behaviour."
