Two French boys, aged 16 and 17, were conditionally dicharged today for skinny dipping.

The case happened two days ago shortly after 10.30 p.m. in St George's Bay.

The 17-year-old, who was conditionally discharged for a year, was also convicted of assaulting a police officer during arrest.

Legal aid lawyer Martin Fenech said the boys had taken off their swimsuits while in the water and as soon as they came out of the water they were arrested.

The 16-year-old was conditionally discharged for six months.

Both were fined €15 each.
