A 20 years old girl charge with taking her shirt off in public and court issues her a summon for doing so.
She had thought that the law in Colorado had changed and she was safe to take her shirt off when she got hot and sweaty during the game – after all her fiance had removed his top too. They were equal, right?
“I thought it was fine because there had been a ruling by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals which covers Colorado. I’d read an article about it saying that it was OK for women to go topless.
“It was a warm September day and the weather was roasting. I took my shirt off without thinking too much about it.”
But a few hours later, a police officer turned up to tell her that there had been complaints and she was facing charges.
Krokos told the BBC: “I kept asking the police officer what I was being charged with, but I was just told I was disgusting the neighbours and that there were children around, and what made it OK for me to think I could be topless?
“I was taken aback because for everyone to be here today who was breastfed, you would have had a topless woman feed you. What is so disgusting about that?”
