Woman Who Danced Nude On Probation

A young Twin Falls woman who stripped and danced naked in front of four boys last spring will not have a sexual abuse charge on her record as long as she completes two years of probation.

Lana Joy Caudill, 21, was sentenced on Tuesday after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old boy by dancing provocatively in front of him, according to court documents.

The boy told a Twin Falls County magistrate last July that Caudill came over to his house on the evening of April 29, 1994. She was 19 at the time.

The four neighborhood boys decided to go to Caudill’s house to watch the movie “Terminator II,” according to a hearing transcript. But instead of watching the movie, Caudill started playing music and stripping.

The boys danced with her and touched her body, according to the hearing transcript. There also was testimony that some of the boys had earlier smoked marijuana.

Caudill pleaded guilty to the felony charge in exchange for prosecutors dropping three other sex abuse charges involving the other boys, who were 13, 13 and 15 at the time.
