(July 24, 2020) Ocean City officials have another court date pending in the years’-long lawsuit brought by female toplessness advocates who are appealing the U.S. District Court’s recent ruling that upheld the resort’s ordinance prohibiting bare breasts on the beach.
Championing the idea that women have the same rights as men regarding chest exposure in public, Chelsea Eline, along with co-plaintiffs Megan Bryant, Rose MacGregor, Christine Coleman, and Angela Urban, filed suit against Ocean City officials in January 2018.
The topic was raised in August 2016 after Eline informed the Worcester County State’s Attorney Office and the OC Police of her intentions to sunbathe topless on the beach.
In June 2017, Ocean City officials adopted an emergency ordinance to preserve the “family-oriented character and quality of Ocean City and its beaches, and to protect the sensibilities of Ocean City’s residents and visitors.”
