4:04Now Playing"Three AIDS activists protesting budget cuts threatened by the fiscal cliff were arrested Tuesday afternoon after they stripped in the outer office of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), according to authorities.
The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that the women were charged with lewd and indecent acts, a misdemeanor. Police said they did not know whether Boehner was in his office when the protesters converged shortly after 12:30 p.m. and disrobed.
Boehner's spokeswoman did not immediately comment."*
