Former Utah Lawmaker Blames Strip Clubs For Juvenile Sex Crime
State lawmakers in Utah are in a huff because a tax intended to stick it to strip clubs has backfired because the law only applies to nude clubs.
What’s most interesting is the logic of one of the sponsors of the strip club tax. He claims that strip clubs are partly to blame for juvenile sex crime. Too bad he doesn’t realize that juveniles don’t go to strip clubs because the law doesn’t allow it.
Former DFL lawmaker Duane Bourdeaux is quoted as saying:
“We’re seeing a lot more juvenile sex offenders. Someone has to pay for that treatment. Right now, the taxpayers are paying for it. I believe we should put it on the backs of those contributing to it. Look at the research…porn and strip clubs is what got them into some of it. It starts to play into their abuse cycle. Later on whether they rape someone or molest a kid, that’s what kind of got them down that path.”
These are the kinds of people working to shut down strip clubs…absolute idiots.
