Check out his police report. As near as I can tell, he swiped his hand under the stall a couple of times as a signal to an undercover cop that he wanted sex. So what? Why is that 'lewd conduct'? If he had been found naked in the bathroom, performing sexual acts in public, I could understand. But...arresting him for flirting? I love to see a hypocritical politician go down in flames as much as the next guy, but this sounds unconstitutional. Read the report, and tell me why this is an arrestable offense.

Who is to say he was not out of toilet paper and asking his neighbor to pass him a square or two?

The reason the cop was there at all was because the complaints about Craig and perhaps others accosting men in the crapper.
The police report says he was peeking through the space between the door and the partition, tapping the partition, waited for the next stall to empty, slid his foot under the partition to touch the foot of the man in the next stall, twice, the second time fondling the cops foot, then ran his hand along the bottom of the partition palm up reaching into the next stall. He had set his luggage down so as to prevent people seeing under the door and witnessing his propositioning.
Now that may be acceptable behavior to Republicans and to the people of Idaho, but to the rest of the world it is a homosexual proposition, now compounded by loud denial and protestations of being picked upon.
Uh-huh.
There have been decoy cops for years. In this case all the cop did was to sit in a men's room stall.
I was unaware that he had been naked and performing sex acts in public. Was that in the same restroom? No wonder people complained about him.

Soliciting people for sex in public bathrooms is lewd conduct primarily because the sex then takes place in that public bathroom. If you think that's OK, remind me to never use the same public bathroom as you.

He pled guilty to something like inappropriate conduct. Apparently the things he was doing are known signals that gay men use with each other in public bathrooms, at least according to blogactive.com.
