A federal court hearing began Friday to determine if Ohio's law that bans strippers from touching patrons and restricts business hours for adult-oriented businesses is constitutional.
Lawyers representing adult entertainment clubs and bookstores told a federal judge today that the law, which was passed in May, violates free speech and expression. They also said the law should be voided because it is too vague.
A lawyer for the state and cities that must enforce the law said appellate courts have upheld the constitutionality of similar laws around the country. U.S. District Judge Solomon Oliver Jr. is hearing the arguments, which are expected to continue next week.
A Cincinnati-based group that pushed for the law -- Citizens for Community Values -- has said the statute will curb crime and blight in the neighborhoods where adult entertainment businesses operate.
However, Daniel Linz, a social psychologist from the University of California at Santa Barbara testified that studies backing the claim that crime and strip clubs go hand in hand are scientifically unsound and that there is no correlation between crime rates and adult businesses.
Scott D. Bergthold, a lawyer for the defendants, questioned Linz's credibility by asking if he had a background in criminology.
