Booty Face-Planting Case - Updated

(Seattle, Washington) The suspected Seattle face-planter, Duane Starkenburg, has bonded out of jail and denies all allegations of booty face-planting. Here's a video of Starkenburg outside the jail.




Starkenburg claims that the entire episode is merely a misunderstanding and any curious planting of his face in the buttocks of female joggers must be considered an accident.

Nevertheless, 46-year-old Starkenburg faces two counts of indecent liberties and one count of misdemeanor assault. The indecent liberties charges stem from incidents in August and December 2010.

Face-Planting in Buttocks Alleged
[Previous 1/28/11 post]
(Seattle, Washington) A local man, Duane Starkenburg, has been accused of intentionally grabbing women from behind and planting his face in their buttocks.

The woman runner, who had been resting when the man first talked to her, thought it was odd the man said he was injured after jogging. He said he was injured while walking up stairs.

When they reached a flat area, the man got behind her. He slid down the woman's legs to grab her ankles, then went face first onto the ground. The woman reasoned that if he'd fallen, the man would have put his hands out to catch himself, but that didn't happen, according to court documents. She told police she thought the man was trying to get on top of her.

"His nose went up in my butt," she told police. "I was very shocked."[…]

In the Aug. 11 case, another woman said she was running with her whippet dog in Lincoln Park about 9 a.m. when a man stopped to let her pass. When they were near the bottom of a trail on a downgrade, the man fell and planted his face in her buttocks.

Starkenburg was booked on misdemeanor assault and released on $150,000 bond.
