A Topanga Canyon nudist camp, facing a sex discrimination lawsuit filed by a Pasadena man, has agreed to stop charging men higher prices than women. Attorneys in the case said that Elysium Fields will change its policies Oct. 1 and charge men and women equal fees for membership and for its workshops and seminars. The agreement settles a lawsuit filed Sept. 3 in Los Angeles Superior Court by Alejandro Crespi, 56, a law book salesman who said he quit Elysium Fields because of the nudist camp’s sex-based pricing. Elysium charged men $175 and women $125 for annual memberships and discounted fees paid by women for other activities. The annual membership fee for both sexes now will be $170.
