Exposed buttocks lands woman in court a second time - Update

Six inches of Elli Skiff’s buttocks were exposed by her low-hanging pants and lack of underwear, a police officer observed on May 29.

Based on that allegation, Skiff, 27, of 5B Heaton St., Rochester, faces a violation-level charge of indecent exposure/lewdness, to which she entered a not guilty plea in Portsmouth District Court on Monday. It’s the second time Skiff’s pants have landed her in the District Court in seven months.

“Her pants were down to the point where people could see her privates,” prosecutor Stephen Kasmar said.



According to the complaint by Officer Eric Bentz, police were called to the downtown area by someone complaining about a “woman with pants drooping low.” Bentz noted on the back of the complaint that he observed Skiff squatting in front of a bench exposing what he estimated to be six inches of buttocks. After “several requests” that she pull her pants up, Bentz reported, she did “slightly" but her “pubic hair and buttocks were still exposed.”

On Nov. 8, 2007, Skiff pleaded guilty to a Newington police charge of criminal trespassing for refusing to leave the Fox Run Mall when asked to do so because her low-slung jeans revealed her buttocks. During her Oct. arraignment on that charge, she wore buttocks-revealing pants to the District Court.

Skiff’s trial date has not yet been scheduled.
