" PAINESVILLE, Ohio - A judge in a northeast Ohio town is ordering three men convicted of soliciting sex to wear a bright yellow chicken costume.

Painesville Municipal Judge Michael Cicconetti is known for dispensing unusual sentences.

He also told the mean to carry a sign that reads "No Chicken Ranch in Painesville."

The sign and costume refer to the "World Famous Chicken Ranch," a brothel in Nevada where sex-for-money is legal.

Painesville borrowed the costume from a woman who wears it to cheer patients at a local hospice.

The men pleaded guilty yesterday to misdemeanor charges of soliciting sex from an undercover Painesville police officer."
