Court Refuses To Close Cedar Rapids Massage Parlor
The Iowa Supreme Court declined to halt Sultan's Palace in Cedar Rapids citing that the term lewdness is unconstitutionally vague. The decision follows an injunctive bid by former Linn County Attorney William Faches who claimed the parlor amounted to a nuisance for lewdness and prostitution. The court noted the case record showed no prostitution occurred on the premises, limiting review to lewdness.
