Solo Girl Val Midwest Convicted of Public Nudity

LINCOLN, Neb. — Solo girl Val Midwest on Monday was found guilty of trespassing and public nudity after posing for photos on a private Catholic school's football field earlier this year.

The online adult star, who will be sentenced on Dec. 20, used the shoot for content shown on ValMidwest.com. In the pics, Midwest can be seen flashing her breasts and posing nude on the turf and on a concrete bench.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Midwest said, "Found Guilty everyone. #fuck #the #system."

Midwest reportedly engineered the shoot to get back at former classmates and staff at Lincoln Pius X High School, who chastised her for wanting to start a porn career.

Midwest, whose birth name is Valerie Dodds, also bragged about her shoot on her Facebook page saying, “So you definitely heard right I did get arrested for the PiusXXX picture set on my website!!! I got ticketed for trespassing and public nudity! Pius decided to call the Lincoln Police Department AND Crime Stoppers because "GOD" couldn't help them out on this one I guess LOL! I already have all the news stations and the Journal Star wanting to interview me and talk to me about everything that is going on, but you can see more about it on my website but that's all I am going to say for now!”

The public nudity skit in Lincoln and the "Midwest" name may create a synapse for some.

One is reminded of Melissa Midwest and Shane Harrington, who together created a buzz nearly a decade with a site that featured porn shots of Melissa Midwest at bars and other public sites around the mid-western city.

Melissa Midwest had been arrested three times over nudity charges stemming from activities related to her website.

Melissa Midwest also was named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit by porn star Brooke Skye, who claimed that while performing on a radio program together, Melissa Midwest penetrated her with an oversized strap-on dildo against her will. That case was later settled.

Melissa Midwest and Shane Harrington later folded their company, MelTech Inc., and popular MelissaMoney.com webmaster program, which included MelissaMidwest.com, FoxyJacky.com and SweetAdri.com.

Now, Harrington operates ValMidwest.com.

Val Midwest and Harrington were unreachable for comment at XBIZ post time.
