Strippers Sue Reno Over New Ban On Dancers Under 21

A group of strippers between the ages of 18 and 21 are suing the city of Reno over a new law banning women younger than the legal drinking age from working in strip clubs.

 

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports the eight strippers are seeking $15 million in damages for alleged violations of their civil rights. The women argue the city's licensing requirements imposed on female topless dancers and not male dancers are discriminatory.

The Reno City Attorney's Office says the changes comply with state and federal laws and mirror similar regulations in place elsewhere in Nevada and across the U.S.
