Man sues Sioux City for right to open porn store

December 11, 2003 By admin

An Omaha man is suing Sioux City for barring his proposed adult bookstore. It’s been a bad few weeks for John Haltom. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to rehear his loss before the Utah Supreme Court over licensing a store he runs in Midvale, a suburb of Salt lake City. He just finished a jail term for selling materials judged too X-rated for community standards at a Doctor John’s Novelty Store in Omaha. Now he says Sioux City hastily passed a new moratorium aimed at his proposed new store there. While he stages his latest legal challenge, Haltom’s also trying to keep Nebraska officials from hauling him off to Scottsbluff, where police bought a video from his store there, watched it, and charged him with obscenity.
