City of Springfield, petitioners reach partial settlement in Free the Nipple lawsuit

On Friday, a federal court judge signed off on a partial settlement of a lawsuit filed by two Springfield women and the Free the Nipple organization against the City of Springfield.

Details of the settlement, which include payments to the two women can be found at my latest Blasting News article, "Federal order in Free the Nipple case a win for women's breasts."

The lawsuit was filed in 2015 after Springfield enacted a new law further restricting the portion of a woman's breasts that could be visible, carving out exceptions only for breastfeeding and adult entertainment.
