Sexually oriented businesses in Milford must abide by a series of rules and regulations, or they could face fines or even lose their license to operate. The city’s rules outline how much skin dancers can show and how close they can get to patrons. The city also makes these adult businesses publicly post their license, including names of owners and individuals with a financial interest in the establishment.
Milford first regulated sexually oriented businesses in 1996, then added new rules when it revised its ordinance in 2003 and 2007. Those revisions have prompted a lengthy legal battle, spanning a dozen years, with the Keepers Gentlemen’s Club claiming Milford’s ordinances are unconstitutionally vague and violate First Amendment rights.
