Stripper sues Florida over new age restrictions for workers at adult entertainment businesses

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A 19-year-old and the club where she worked as a stripper have sued Florida’s attorney general and two local prosecutors. They want to stop enforcement of a new Florida law prohibiting adult entertainment businesses from employing people who are under age 21. They claim it violates their First Amendment and Fourth Amendment rights. Serenity Michelle Bushey says that she lost her job at Cafe Risque in the Gainesville area after the law took effect on Monday. Florida lawmakers say the purpose of the law is to deter human trafficking. The lawsuit was filed Monday in federal court in Tallahassee.
