AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Officials in Auburn are looking into the legality of a clothing store that also sells sex toys.

Auburn City Manager Charlie Duggan says city officials are gathering information to see if everything at the store is legal.

The store, Kalli’s Love Stuff, sells lingerie. The Opelika-Auburn News says it also has a line of adult novelties, located in a separate room concealed behind a heavy curtain and that patrons must show proper identification before entering.

State Sen. Ted Little, who represents the district, says he has sent Duggan a copy of the section of the Alabama Code prohibiting the sale of sex toys, and a recent opinion from the Alabama Supreme Court on a court battle between the city of Hoover and the Love Stuff store in that city.
