Former D.A. Ed Peters to Prosecute Nudity Cases

Just in/verbatim from city:

At the request of the City Attorney, Sarah O'Reilly-Evans and pursuant to court order, former Hinds County District Attorney Ed Peters will begin prosecution of the January 29th cases involving nudity on April 5, 2006 at 2:30 p.m. in Jackson Municipal Court. These violations involving Gilbert Paige, Manager of Centerfolds and Centerfolds' dancer Paula Young were discovered during a general walk through of night clubs in the West Street Area by Mayor Frank Melton and two Jackson Police Officers.

During a review of Municipal Court Records it was noted that over one hundred nudity cases are pending before the Court but have never been prosecuted. These violations occurred at different establishments throughout the City. Mayor Frank Melton has vowed to enforce all ordinance violations occurring in the City of Jackson. As a result, these matters were placed back on the active trial docket and are currently scheduled for trial on April 18 and 25.
