Olmsted County prosecutors charged Eloisa R. Plancarte with a misdemeanor after Rochester police responded to a complaint about a woman walking around topless near a gas station.
After a bench trial the following year, Judge Joseph Chase found Plancarte, 28, guilty of indecent exposure. The Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld Plancarte’s conviction in 2024.
In his verdict, Chase wrote that “Ms. Plancarte is an exhibitionist.” Chase, who has since retired from the bench, added that Plancarte “was not at a beach designated for nude bathing by people who enjoy that sort of thing. She was not in a locker room or public lavatory which strangers might share in a state of undress. Ms. Plancarte was strolling across the parking lot of a gas station.”
