Another example of a society adrift. A 17 yr old girl strips in a BAR serving alcohol and judge finds nothing 'illegal' about this?

After reading this story I have to sit here and wonder what the heck happened to common sense and decency and to think there are actually people who do not see the harm this type of behavior has on our society.

This one certainly belongs in the Cuckoo's nest.

I agree 100% with you on this. What was that judge thinking?

The girl must be HAWT! If she was ugly they'd throw her in jail.

I'm joking of course.
This is disturbing but I couldn't resist.

Prosecutors only filed charges after learning that a 17-year-old girl, who had entered the club illegally, was allowed to strip for patrons. But the club's owners claimed the "artistic nudity" loophole protected them and that they were not responsible for the actions of the child. The local judge agreed, but Trueman does not.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=204996"><DIV>
"That's really stretching it. It was a bar. It was a minor child that got up, spontaneously, to do a nude dance. That is not protected," he argues.
