40 YEARS AGO: The city of Manteca adopted two “sex ordinances” by a unanimous vote. The ordinances were identical to those that the city of Riverbank had adopted the year before. The Manteca city council voted to prohibit the establishment of adult entertainment businesses within city limits. The wording of the ordinances prohibited businesses such as nude wrestling centers, nude encounter studios or massage parlors, nude theaters and more.
