Summary
A woman in West Valley City, Utah, is facing criminal charges after being topless in her own home in front of her stepchildren, while her husband, who was also undressed, is not being charged. Her attorney argues that Utah's lewdness statute discriminates against women, and she faces possible jail time and being on the sex offender registry for 10 years if convicted. The case is scheduled to be argued in court, and the woman is navigating the impact the case has had on her and her family.
