A former Southeast Texas funeral director has been arrested for taking some naughty photos of himself with various corpses. James Patton, the former funeral director at Earthman's Hunter Creek Chapel, has been charged with abuse of a corpse and fired from his job.
Police seized Patton's computer from his apartment earlier his year while investigating an unrelated case. That’s when they found the 27 disturbing photos.
In the photographs, investigators saw images of a man's penis touching the foot of a nude female corpse. They also found an image of a female corpse with the legs spread open.
“I can tell you that the defendant’s male sexual organ was seen in various poses with those of dead bodies,” said Donna Hawkins with the Harris County DA’s Office.
When questioned, Patton admitted that he last abused a corpse "a year ago," according to the probable cause warrant. If Patton is convicted, he could face up to a $4,000 fine and up to a year in jail.
