Esbjerg local council is looking into complaints that a sex shop’s window covering violates a town law

A sex shop owner wants to shield the eyes of local town children from his wares, but has been refused by the local council, reports TV2 Syd.

Torben Knudsen owns the Dark Rose shop in Esbjerg, western Jutland, and wanted to screen off his window to prevent kids from seeing the sex toys on display. He covered the windows with frosted glass so only the store logo and description of the shop were showing.

‘I don’t think it would be fair that kids can look in at porn and vibrators in the shop all day long,’ said Knudsen.

But Peter Bagge of the local council said Knudsen has violated district planning laws prohibiting entire shop windows from being covered.

The council investigated the sex shop after receiving a complaint.

The move left Knudsen scratching his head, since he has covered the windows of his two other sex shops located in Holstebro and Vejle without complaint.
