Canadian Tutu Man Gets 5 Months For Olympic Plunge
A tutu-clad Canadian who jumped into the Olympic diving pool after a competition was convicted Wednesday of interrupting the games and sentenced to five months in jail. He was released pending an appeal. Ron Bensimhon, 31, of Montreal, jumped off the 3-meter springboard at the diving venue Monday night wearing a blue tutu and white tights with polka dots. "I didn't think what I did was so serious. I won't do it again," he told the judge.
Hope your cellmate likes the tutu, Ron. |
