'Topless' stir at Rehoboth

Rehoboth Beach in Delaware isn't a topless beach, but a few transgender individuals caused a stir by treating it like one.

Police say passers-by complained after the individuals, who have male genitalia but who have surgicaly enhanced breasts, removed their tops over Memorial Day weekend.

A lifeguard asked them to put their tops back on. They initially refused, but covered up before police arrived.

Even if they hadn't, though, Police Chief Keith Banks notes they were doing nothing illegal.

Since they have male genitalia, they can't be charged with indecent exposure for showing their breasts.
