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.

    It may not be technically a crime, but the police can investigate and take your children away for a long time until things are sorted out in court. That can take many, many months. Also, once your name is smeared with even a hint of a sex scandal against kids, your life will be ruined.

    So, it's simply not culturally acceptable in the worst possible way.
