Jury took just two minutes to find Stephen Gough, 54, guilty of breaching order designed to prevent him appearing nude in public

The so-called Naked Rambler has been jailed for 16 months after a jury took just two minutes to find him guilty of breaching an antisocial behaviour order designed to prevent him from appearing nude in public.

Stephen Gough, 54, was not allowed into Winchester crown court to address the jury because he refused to put on any clothes, but was given permission to appear naked as he was sentenced on Monday.

Averting his eyes, Recorder John Williams told Gough: "I'm afraid there is going to be a revolving door in and out of prison, because you are intent on flouting these orders and there is absolutely no way you are going to comply with them."

Though he was not able to make the argument during his latest trial, Gough has previously said he decided to shed his clothes when it dawned on him that he – and all people – were good. His argument is that if he is good, then his body is good. In an interview with the Guardian, he said: "People often have to go to prison for many years before others see the light."

But Williams said the former Royal Marine was likely to continually return to prison if he did not change his stance. The recorder told Gough: "Your refusal is that you genuinely feel that it is some way in breach of your rights, but unfortunately the courts are of the view that they are not. I would like to hope that when you leave prison you will not leave in the state that you are today, but I know that is a vain hope."

Williams had offered Gough, from Eastleigh in Hampshire, clothes so he could listen to the prosecution, give evidence, defend himself and hear the verdict – but he declined and was held in a cell during his brief trial.

The judge told the jury: "He would like to address you as naked as the day he was born, but I will not let him do that."

Simon Jones, opening the case for the prosecution, said Hampshire police had applied for the asbo after receiving more than 33 complaints from members of the public who had seen Gough roaming the streets nude.

Jones said there was no issue that Southampton magistrates court issued the asbo on 13 August last year, or that Gough breached it on 15 August when he was seen wearing only socks and boots and carrying a rucksack.

PC Rich Moody, based at Eastleigh, told the court he had offered the rambler clothes. "I said, 'Stephen, you're clearly in breach of your asbo. Is there anything I can do to make you reasonably not breach your asbo?'

"I offered him the clothing and he said: 'No, thank you, it is too hot.'

"We were opposite the county hospital and a number of people were waiting at the bus stop outside. He would definitely have appeared naked in front of those passersby."

In his police interview, Gough protested that the asbo, which bans him from baring his buttocks and genitals in public, unless in a changing room, during a medical examination or on a nudist beach, "didn't make sense".

He said in the interview: "I don't think there is anything shameful about what I am. It is going against what is reasonable."

Gough has been convicted for dozens of offences, mainly in Scotland, where he was repeatedly arrested during attempts to walk from Land's End to John o'Groats without clothes.
