Seventeen British men arrested after they dressed up as nuns and in lingerie on the Greek island of Crete were acquitted on Monday, a judicial source said.The court in Crete's main city Heraklion found that residents were not shocked by the incident and threw out accusations against the tourists, all from Bristol and ranging in age from their 20s to their 50s, the source said.
They were arrested on Sunday for accusations of insulting the Roman Catholic Church after they paraded themselves dressed "in nun attire and naughty lingerie", police said.
The Britons were arrested in the coastal town of Malia, a popular resort for young travellers with a long tradition of drunken tourist antics.
