[HISTORY: Adopted by the City of Norwalk Common Council 5-11-1993. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
For the purposes of this chapter, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
The showing of the female breast below the top of the areola
or any portion of the pubic hair, cleft of the buttocks or genitals
with less than a fully opaque covering or male genitalia in a discernibly
turgid state, whether covered or not.
The use of any device or covering, exposed to view, which
simulates a female breast, pubic hair, buttocks or any portion thereof
or genitals.
Public nudity or public simulation of nudity is obscene if,
taken as a whole, it predominantly appeals to the prurient interest,
it depicts or describes in a patently offensive way a sexual act and,
taken as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, educational,
political or scientific value. Predominant appeal shall be judged
with reference to ordinary adults unless it appears from the character
of the material or the circumstances of its dissemination to be designed
for some other specially susceptible audience. Whether public nudity
or a public simulation of nudity is "obscene" shall be judged by ordinary
adults applying contemporary community standards. In applying contemporary
community standards, the State of Connecticut is deemed to be the
community.
To give, provide, present, exhibit, produce, direct or participate
in.
Any place that is accessible to the public.
No person shall publicly display himself or herself in public
while nude in a manner that is obscene or publicly simulate nudity
in a manner that is obscene.
No person, establishment, company or corporation shall promote
a public display of nudity that is obscene or public simulation of
nudity in a manner that is obscene.
In addition to other available methods of enforcement, this
chapter may also be enforced through the civil citation process.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as to limit or waive
any requirements of state or local laws and regulations concerning
activities falling within their jurisdiction.
Any person, establishment, company or corporation that violates
this chapter shall be fined $90 for each offense. Nothing herein shall
prohibit the issuance of more than one citation for violating the
provisions of this chapter, provided that such violations are sufficiently
distinct in time and place so as to render them separate violations.
