Tavern Owner Wins Battle On Toplessness
Edward Becker, a tavern operator in East St. Louis, won a legal ruling that overturned a county ordinance banning topless female entertainment. Judge Francis Maxwell held the ban unconstitutional, noting nudity in entertainment may be protected by the First and Eighth Amendments. Becker resumed operations with topless waitresses as officials plan to rewrite the ordinance.
