Summary
A Utah judge ruled against a West Valley City woman's challenge to the state's lewdness law after she faced charges for being topless in her home in front of her stepchildren. The woman's attorneys argued that the law discriminated against women, but the judge upheld the law, stating that it is the Legislature's prerogative to establish laws regarding lewdness.
