Judge strips town of nudity law

A US judge has overturned a law banning strippers doing the "full monty" because it infringes their freedom of expression.

A US judge has overturned a law banning strippers doing the "full monty" because it infringes their freedom of expression.

Officials in Boise, Idaho, had banned erotic dancers from going any further than stripping to short shorts and halter neck tops.

The judge ruled, however, that the city's "nudity ordinance" infringes the First Amendment of the US constitution - the freedom of expression.

District Judge Lynn Winmill said: "Indeed, many of the swimsuits and gowns sold in Boise department stores could not be worn in public without violating the Boise ordinance's ban on public nudity."

The ruling was made after owners of nude dance clubs Erotic City and Night Moves sued the town.
