Summary
A Colorado attorney representing the "Free the Nipple" movement plans to sue Utah prosecutors after a West Valley City woman was charged for being topless in her own home in front of her stepchildren. The attorney argues that the charges against the woman violate her constitutional rights, demanding that they be dropped and her record sealed. The case stems from a dispute over Utah's lewdness laws, with the defense arguing that they unfairly target and discriminate against women, while the prosecution contends that the 10th Circuit "Free the Nipple" ruling does not make any findings about the constitutionality of the law.
