Woman Accused Of Being Topless With Stepkids Takes Plea Deal

A lawyer says a Utah woman who fought criminal charges after her stepchildren saw her topless in her own home has taken a plea deal to avoid the risk of having to register as a sex offender if convicted. Tilli Buchanan's decision Tuesday brings an end to the case that drew attention to a debate over whether it's unfair to treat men and women differently for baring their chests. Buchanan and the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah had pointed to a court ruling that overturned a topless ban in Colorado and helped fuel a movement.
