Nude Dance at Club by Underage Girl ruled "Artistic" 1st Amendment Expression

HAMBURG, Iowa, August 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Nude dancing in strip clubs is "artistic" even when performed by an under age girl, according to an Iowa judge in a ruling issued late last month. Fremont County Judge Timothy O'Grady called the strip club a "theatre" and agreed with the club owner who argued that the state's indecency law does not apply to "theater, concert hall, art center, museum, or similar establishments."

Well, there ya' go:

...After the 17-year-old niece of the local Sherriff, Steven MacDonald, did a nude dance at the club, the owner, Clarence Judy, was charged with violating Iowa's public indecent exposure law.

...one sees the motivation for the ruling.

Now, which way's Nebraska?

Hmmmm......

Ruling makes a little sense considering that you need a cabaret license to open a strip bar in Philly. Although, I don't think the founding fathers in Philly made the connection between dancing ladies and nudie bars.
