Colorado city officials have removed a topless ban from city law that inspired a Free the Nipple lawsuit.

The Coloradoan reported that Fort Collins City Council agreed Tuesday to remove language in the public nudity code that barred women and girls over age 10 from exposing their breasts in public.

City officials say the ban is expected to be removed Sept. 17.

Officials say a district court judge and a federal appeals court have ruled against the policy in the past two years.

    I'm not from US culture. Would putting a young girl in a topless bathing suit constitute a sex crime, or is it just not culturally acceptable?

    Things have changed significantly over the years. When I was a child, no one cared if a child was topless.

    In the early 1990s I was visiting my brother and took photos of him, his wife and their two young (4 and 2 years old or so at the time).

    I didn't notice it (which says a lot about attitudes back then), but the younger one wasn't wearing his diaper. This is before cell phone cameras, so I took the roll of film to be developed and printed.

    When I got my prints, I was looking through them with my brother and his wife and we noticed that the younger one wasn't wearing pants. We laughed. "Look! isn't wearing pants! Ha Ha!" I still have the prints from that roll of film somewhere.

    These days, I would likely be arrested for that. It's stupidity. That's a good word for US culture. The way we do things in the US is as follows: If there's an issue, look at all the angles, consider all the alternatives, then pick the one with the worst outcomes.
