Three strippers in Baton Rouge, New Orleans sue over state ban on those younger than 21

Three strip club dancers in New Orleans and Baton Rouge are suing to halt a statewide ban against strippers younger than 21, saying the ban infringes on their constitutional right to free speech, due process and equal protection.

The lawsuit was filed in New Orleans federal court on Thursday, about a week ahead of the ban’s effective date of Oct. 1.

The erotic dancers, who are not named in the suit, are suing Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control Commissioner Juana Marine-Lombard, whose office is charged with enforcing the ban.

A hearing date has not been set.

An entrepreneurial stripper probably can take in a six-figure income each year so a half-million in damages for lost wages for each stripper is certainly possible.
