Eagan, MN asked in Criminal Law for Minnesota

Q: What is the legality regarding lap dances in Inver grove heights, MN?

I am very confused by the laws concerning this. I have seen some people classify it as violating prostitution laws, others say that it violates obscenity laws. Still others say it is legal. If a dancer is doing light grinding on a patron, and the patron is fully clothed, does this violate any laws? My friends are interested in going to a local club and I am just concerned regarding legality.

A: It's probably a bad idea to do it if you are questioning it's legality. Perhaps the best thing to do is to avoid getting a lap dance where the dancer is "lightly grinding" on you.
