Dallas illegalizes Minors Working in Strip Clubs

As we all know, the Dallas City Council is always on top of things. In fact, just this Wednesday they decided that it was about time to make it illegal for minors to enter or work in Dallas strip clubs.

The change comes in part as a result of Dallas police in March discovering a 12-year-old girl dancing nude in Diamond’s Cabaret, a Dallas club.

“When we realized we did not have the tools in place — we have moved quickly to put those tools in place,” Mayor Tom Leppert said of the strengthened law. “We are pressing the issues associated with the minors, and it gives us the tools the police department is going to need to continue to address this situation and address it in a very forceful way, a very aggressive way and a very timely way.”

Way to go Dallas, it's 2008 and you are making underage stripping illegal. How progressive!
