"Since July, the state of Oklahoma has been consumed by important investigative questions, including: Why did naked women appear on a state-owned TV set during an official Board of Education meeting? Was someone in the room inadvertently streaming pornography from a personal device to the TV? Will anyone be prosecuted for what happened? Were the board members who complained about the video directed by the governor to "lie about me," as the state's pugnacious, hard-right Superintendent of Education asked? Why was a "chiropractic table" involved in the scene? And why did the video feature, as one board member noted, a retro vibe and "a guy with a white hat, kind of a Gilligan-type hat"?"
"After a lengthy investigation by the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office and the State Bureau of Investigation, and then a lengthy consideration of their reports, the Oklahoma County District Attorney this week announced that "there is insufficient evidence to file criminal charges." But the investigators confirmed that the complaint was true; a TV in the office did in fact show the images in question, including the "chiropractic table." The naked women did not come from anyone's secret stash of pornography, however; they came from Jackie Chan's 1985 film The Protector."
Since July Oklahoma faced sensational questions after naked women appeared on a state-owned TV during a Board of Education meeting, prompting speculation about accidental streaming, political motives, and unusual props. The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office and the State Bureau of Investigation conducted examinations and the Oklahoma County District Attorney concluded there was insufficient evidence to file criminal charges. Investigators verified that the television showed the disputed images, including a chiropractic table, and determined the footage originated from Jackie Chan's 1985 film The Protector. A local news channel later confirmed the film source by viewing the movie.
