Queen's 'mooner' gets lesser charge

Australian police have downgraded charges against a man who mooned Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip as they drove past tens of thousands of well-wishers during a visit to Australian coastal city Brisbane.

Police told Brisbane Magistrates Court yesterday that they have dropped a charge of willful exposure against 22-year-old Sydney barman Liam Lloyd Warriner for baring his buttocks to the 85-year-old British monarch and her 90-year-old husband in October. The charge carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison.

Defense attorney John-Paul Mould told Magistrate Brian Hine that Warriner will plead guilty to a lesser charge of creating a public nuisance and will appear for sentencing on February 14. The lesser charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail.

It is not clear whether the royal couple saw Warriner.
