Ministry wins lawsuit against strip club

Monday, July 27th, 2009

An Ohio pastor has won a lawsuit filed by an adult entertainment club against him and part of his congregation.

Several years ago, Pastor William Dunfee of New Beginnings Ministries in New Castle started demonstrating in front of the “Foxhole” strip club. City attorney Tom Condit represented the church.

“They had signs and they would try to persuade men to not patronize the place. They would try to persuade the girls who danced there not to work there,” he notes, “and they just did the best they could to ideally shut the place down — make it go out of business.”

The protestors took photos of license plates of vehicles whose owners went into the facility and then posted them on the ministry’s website. In response, the club sued the ministry members and the sheriff’s department for not getting rid of the protesters.

“It was actually set for trial in mid-July, and the federal judge saw the evidence that was submitted in writing and said there is no federal claim here, and he threw the case out,” Condit adds.

Condit points out people have a constitutional right to conduct peaceful protests

Las Vegas Strip Club Bust Results in 13 Arrests

Monday, July 27th, 2009

A major bust at a local adult strip club has resulted in 13 dancers being arrested for soliciting prostitution. Police allege the dancers were doing much more than dancing.

Metro made the arrests early Monday morning. Police say busts like this, are not uncommon, but the number of arrests is what makes this one stand out.

“It’s a pretty substantial. I don’t know how many particular entertainers were working in that establishment that night but 13 is a lot of folks,” said Lieutenant Karen Hughes, Metro.

All of the female dancers were arrested for soliciting prostitution. Police say it is now up to them to post bail or wait 48 hours to make a court appearance and be released.

Hughes works with Metro’s vice squad, and would not go into detail about how the arrests were made, but says this is part of her team’s job.

“They’re out there every night, working street operations, hotel operations, book stores, anywhere where people that come to Las Vegas are going to go to find something that’s just off the radar.”

Right now, Metro says Deja Vu management is not facing any charges.

“They will check to make sure there are not any key employees who are involved in those acts, because if that’s the case, then the license will be in jeopardy.”

Deja Vu’s General Manager Bob Proden says this is the first time a bust of this size has happened in the club’s 15 year history. He says the club has received dance code violations in the past but those were eventually dropped.

Will Pub Become Strip Club…

Monday, July 27th, 2009

In the Poconos a pub owner is trying to sell his business as a strip club and neighboring shops are not happy about it.

Werry’s Pub and Motel in Marshalls Creek is up for sale and one of it’s for sale ads is causing some controversy.

The owner said he took an ad out in an adult magazine trying to sell the spot as the perfect place for a gentleman’s club.

The owner, Middle Smithfield Township Supervisor Bob said, “It’s not 1940. It’s just another entertainment, a facility, it’s no different.”

He added, “It will not decrease property values.”

Township officials said right now the property isn’t zoned for a strip club but a new code book, which is expected to be adopted sometime this fall, would allow it.

“There’s a tree farm, a salon, a car place and then a strip club? It’s not necessary,” said Nicole Barbera. She works at a salon across the street from the property. “The Pocono Mountains is a family-oriented area. I don’t believe that a gentleman’s club is appropriate.”

Seth Richard agrees. He owns the tree farm next door. “I don’t feel it is necessarily a positive addition to our community,” he said.

The owner of the Werry Pub said a strip club might not be the only option. He said there are also talks to put in a drug and rehabilitation facility on the property, something local businesses said they would support.”

“I think that would be a positive addition to the community,” Richard added.

Berkeley County OKs new strip club restriction

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Berkeley County has reinstated limits on where exotic entertainment venues such as strip clubs can be located.

An ordinance that went into effect Monday prohibits new exotic entertainment venues from locating within 2,000 feet of a house of worship, school, public recreation area, lodging
businesses and primarily residential areas. Such businesses also are barred from locating within 2,000 feet of another adult business.

The ordinance adopted last week by the County Commission replaces one that Circuit Judge Christopher Wilkes struck down in 2008 because the county doesn’t have zoning.

A state law approved this year helps counties without zoning limit strip club locations.

Heidi Montag to Strip for 25,000

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Heidi Montag to Strip for 25,000
The offers just keep rolling in for The Hills star Heidi Montag: first it was a difficult time in the jungle for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here which saw her emotions stripped bare, then a deal to strip her clothes to appear in Playboy and now NYC strip club Scores, recently relaunched as a “night club” has offered Mrs. Pratt the opportunity to strip onstage for five nights for $25,000.

“Since Montag recently agreed to pose for Playboy, SCORES figured the publicity-hungry starlet would jump at the opportunity to be center stage at one of New York’s most entertaining nightclubs,” the club says in a press release. Her hubby Spencer Pratt will get a front row seat as well to witness her show, if she chooses to accept the offer.

The club issued a letter to Heidi with their generous offer, via their general manager, Ed Norwick:

“Dear Mrs. Heidi Pratt,

As the nation watched you and your husband brave the jungle on “’’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here’ and continue to brave the ups and downs of ‘The Hills’ and Lauren Conrad, we would like to take this time to present you with an opportunity that will allow you to be center stage—and have a lot of fun while doing so,” the letter reads.

After tooting their own strip club horn, the club adds, “As we took note that you will be posing in Playboy soon, we thought you may be interested in dabbling in yet another adventure that will most definitely expose your softer side.

As we recently re-opened after a short hiatus, SCORES would be honored to have you dance at our club on the main stage each night for five days, upon which, we will offer you a fee of $25,000.

Best,
Ed Norwick”

Your move, Heidi.

Go-Go Joint is gone-gone

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Oct 25, 2006

Vargas, who owns Lenny’s Deli on Triangle Street, recently bought the Go-Go property from Vincent Mavilia and plans to sign an agreement with the city not to have topless entertainment, although zoning allows it.
On Tuesday, Vargas met with the Unified Neighborhood Inspection Team at the former club to give an overview of her plans for the 1,200-square-foot building.
She plans to remove the circular bar, which still has full bottles of beer and half-full bottles of hard liquor, and renovate the interior to include a small stage for live music.
Vargas doesn’t plan to serve a full menu of food but will serve appetizers, liquor and other beverages. She also plans to add a patio and a plasma television.
“I want to bring in a mariachi band and maybe some jazz,” Vargas said.
City officials have received complaints for at least two years about the Go-Go Joint, which was previously known as Bada Bing and Wiggles.

In March, a judge ordered Mavilia to install a video surveillance system so police could monitor activity inside the Shelter Rock Road strip club.
Judge Douglas Mintz required the cameras about a year after local police and personnel from the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney shut down the club under the state’s nuisance abatement law.
Police arrested six women in August 2005 who were charged with prostitution for offering to have sex with undercover officers for money.
Another dancer was charged with prostitution in February after asking an undercover officer for money in exchange for sex.
According to the city, Mavilia never installed the cameras. He put the building up for sale.
A sign outside the building says the property is for sale for $375,000, cash only. Vargas would not say whether she paid cash.
“You are doing us a favor. This is a very positive thing for the city,” Rich Antous, a member of the city’s Unified Neighborhood Inspection Team, told Vargas on Tuesday.
City officials plan to help Vargas get the necessary permits to get the new café up and running. Vargas said she hopes to have it open by December.
“I am just really pleased that we have been able to resolve this neighborhood issue, and I wish her the best of luck with her business,” Mayor Mark Boughton said Tuesday.

Hard News??? KABC Covers Strip Club Opening
Posted Apr 24th 2009 9:40AM by TMZ Staff

In their pursuit of “credible” and “informative” news stories, KABC in Los Angeles decided to assign one of their most attractive reporters to do some hard-hitting journalism last night — at the re-opening of L.A. strip joint, The Body Shop. No, they didn’t make their reporter perform.

But the story wasn’t just a cheap attempt to attract viewers by showing trashy chicks wearing practically nothing (insert sarcasm here), it was a story about the economic hardships of our times — anyone with a job is considered lucky.

Thankfully, the “legitimate” news informed us about one all important fact: If you can swing around a pole in a g-string, the place is hiring.

Strip-club owner’s trial starts Monday

By Adriana M. Chávez / El Paso Times
Posted: 06/13/2009 12:00:00 AM MDT

EL PASO — After five years of legal wrangling, a 66-year-old businesswoman is to stand trial Monday on charges that she prostituted dancers at her now-defunct El Paso strip club.
Jeannie Coutta is charged with promotion of prostitution and four counts of engaging in organized criminal activity.
Coutta and her business partner, Phyllis Woodall, were arrested in 2004 after a 14-month police investigation of their Naked Harem club at 6345 Alameda.
Police began the investigation because of allegations that minors were working as strippers at the club. This led to Coutta, Woodall and two of the club’s managers being charged in the prostitution case.
A jury in 2006 convicted Woodall, 52, of engaging in organized criminal activity and aggravated promotion of prostitution. She was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
In a 2005 court affidavit, police said two 15-year-old girls and a 17-year-old girl worked as a strippers at the club and were paid to perform sexual acts on customers in the club’s VIP rooms.
During Woodall’s trial, dancer Mari Snider, who worked at the club for six months in 2003, testified that Woodall said sex was not allowed in the club. But, Snider said, another dancer told her that sex for pay was allowed if dancers were willing.
A former El Paso County sheriff’s deputy, Ramon Alvarez, testified that he had frequented the club for years and paid for sex several times. He said he stopped going to the club after he learned of the police investigation. In
an interview last year, Coutta said she and Woodall were “set up” by employees who hired underage girls.
Jurors for Coutta’s trial were chosen Friday. Opening statements will begin at 7:30 a.m. Monday before District Judge David Guaderrama in 243rd District Court.
The two club managers arrested in the prostitution case, Maria Brooks, 53, and Sandra Zepeda, 44, are awaiting trial. Brooks’ trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 22. Zepeda’s trial date is still pending. Adriana M. Chávez may be reached at achavez@elpasotimes.com;

LAP-DANCE “CANARIES”

BY: LAURA ITALIANO
A lineup of loose-lipped lap dancers from what cops call a $20,000-a-night Midtown brothel has put the screws to their husband-and-wife bosses.

A Manhattan judge yesterday refused to toss the case against Louis and Betty Posner, former proprietors of the raided and padlocked Hot Lap Dance Club on West 38th Street — crediting, in part, accounts the much-more-than-strippers gave grand jurors.

“Big Lou,” or “Daddy,” as he was called at the club, must now face felony pimping and money-laundering charges — even though he had argued he had no idea prostitution was occurring at the club.

Meanwhile, his wife is still on the hook for charges of falsifying records, including listing the business in bank forms as “catering.”

Included in the ladies’ vivid testimony, according to new court papers:

* Louis Posner regularly booked himself as a customer in his own joint — with records indicating “no charge” or “comp.”

* He referred to condoms as “bubble gum” and made them available to the dancers.

* Posner often boasted that he had inside police sources — “contacts” who never came through in time for the July 2008 raid.

Canton Inn Shuts Down
By ELAINA ATHANS — WMDT 6/10/2009

A Gentlemen’s Club has closed its doors after the Department of Justice says prostitution was taking place inside.

“It’s no longer going to be the Canton Inn in Seaford as we know it,” said Representative David Short of Seaford.

Delaware’s Department of Justice says plenty of illegal activity happened behind closed doors.

“Undercover agents went in there and a dancer would come up to them and say ‘I will perform a sexual act on you in exchange for money,’” said Deputy Attorney General Philip Bangle.

The State says because of an undercover investigation the Canton Inn closed.

The gentlemen’s club was closed under Delaware’s Nuisance Abatement Law, which means that charges could either be brought forth or the owner could close the establishment. The Department of Justice says Owner David K. Lui chose to close its doors.

Bangle said, “This is an act we’ve been using over the last couple years to deal with properties that are havens for crime.”

The Club posed a threat to the public’s health, safety and welfare, according to the state. And Representative Daniel Short agrees.

He said, “A lot of citizens in the community didn’t want to see it there to begin with. It was close to a housing development across the street, there have been complaints of its existance.”

Lui could not be reached for comment. The State says the criminal charges against Lui have been dropped, but a civil lawsuit is now pending

Detroit Adult Clubs, Gentleman’s Clubs and Strip Clubs

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Detroit strip clubs have their own intrinsic Motown mojo and range from casual Detroit strip clubs to posh, cigar and brandy lounges and from just topless Detroit gentleman’s clubs to fully nude Detroit strip bars. A classic Detroit gentlemen’s club, Detroit’s Coliseum strip bar has a dress code (collared shirts, please), simply gorgeous half naked women, and prices to reflect its status as one of Detroit’s best gentleman’s clubs. For a hearty, no holds barred Detroit strip bar, downtown Detroit’s Bouzouki Club is an ideal club complete with beautiful dancers and fast drinks. Want to take it all off? Detroit’s Club Le Elegant spotlights fully nude strippers, but does not sell liquor—all those roving, admiring eyes just might lose control.

Booby Trap
141 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.366.9030

The Booby Trap is a small, casual strip club that has the feel of an old neighborhood pub, except at your Dad’s old watering hole there weren’t dozens of topless babes. Okay, maybe there were, but that doesn’t change the fact that if you’re looking for a more intimate strip club, with decent drinks and good looking women, then the Booby Trap is it.

Bouzouki Club
432 E. Lafayette, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.964.5744

Located right in Downtown Detroit, Bouzouki Club is everything you could possibly want in a strip club. The dancers are gorgeous and very personable, the drinks arrive quick and there’s plenty of them, and the whole atmosphere of this strip club screams a good night out.

Centerfold Lounge
20222 John R St., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.892.7333

Centerfold Lounge is your typical Detroit strip club with a wide range of ladies to fit everyone’s taste ensuring a good time for all. Hey, a word to the cost conscious, the private dances here are about five bucks cheaper than at most strip clubs, just don’t skimp on the tip.

Chateau Vert Lounge
16550 Telegraph Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.532.2242

At best, Chateau Vert Lounge is hit or miss, and although they don’t have the typical slew of Barbies that most strip clubs offer, the girls are cute and friendly. However, this strip club is small making the private dances not so private. so, we guess if you’re doing the Detroit strip club tour, stop in; if you have limited time and budget, skip it.

Club Le Elegant
17040 Plymouth, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.836.7562

In Detroit, as in most major cities, no clothes means no booze, a shame for fully nude strip clubs. However, at Club Le Elegant the prices aren’t bad and the girls are decent. You can always get your drink someplace else and stop by, but we prefer to kill two birds with one stone. Besides, other Detroit strip clubs are topless, it won’t overtax your imagination to picture the girls bottomless too.

Coliseum
11300 E. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.308.4116

The Coliseum is an above average gentleman’s club across the board, if a little pricey. It’s seriously state of the art, they have premium liquor, and the women are hot from the strippers right through to the service staff. It’s a casual strip club (the only dress code is a collared shirt) and even the bouncers are chill, a definite rarity at most strip clubs. Like we said though, bring extra cash, all this doesn’t come for free.

Cover Girls
10631 Whittier, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.527.0700

You have to love a strip club with a free buffet and, if they’re still doing it, dollar pitchers on Sundays. Cover Girls has beautiful women, good drinks and your typical strip club atmosphere. Oh, and if you’re nearby on a Tuesday you have to drop in, Cover Girls host the best amateur night in the state.

Crazy Horse Detroit
8140 Michigan Ave., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.581.7400

What can you say about the Crazy Horse Detroit? Well, we can say plenty, but most of it probably wouldn’t be printed here. However, we will say that this adult club is top notch, with beautiful live nude dancers and reasonably priced booze and, hey, you have to love a gentleman’s club that opens early during baseball season.

Hard Body Cafe
7443 Michigan Ave., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.841.2225

The Hard Body Cafe Detroit is a no-frills adult club, meaning there’s no food to interfere with the live entertainment and consumption of libations. Come on, do you really go to strip clubs for the food? In case you’re stumped, the answer is no.

Hot Tamales
13109 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.863.3444

When you’re looking for strip clubs in Detroit, a huge red flag should go up when you contemplate Hot Tamales because nothing else will. Seriously, this strip club needs some major work. The drinks are okay, but if the best thing you can say about a strip club is that the drinks are okay, there is something wrong. We would liken this to an old strippers home, if there were such a thing.

La Chambre Lounge
14100 Telegraph, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.537.5420

We have it on good authority that La Chambre Lounge is one of Detroit’s best strip clubs. An unpretentious adult club, La Chambre is kicked back, casual and always a good time. The ladies are decent, the liquor is cheaper than most clubs, and the pricing structure for cover charge and lap dances beats out any other gentleman’s clubs.

Platinum
14541 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.342.7944

Easily one of the best strip clubs in Detroit, Platinum has simply gorgeous women,almost all of them black, a sick DJ that helps them shake their natural assets, and a liquor selection that shames most other strip clubs. The atmosphere is totally kicked back, comfortable, and the service from the staff is impeccable.

Player’s Lounge
13710 E. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.371.6970

The Player’s Lounge redefines the term “gentleman’s club.” It’s a very upscale venue, serving fine cuisine, a well rounded wine list, a fine selection of cigars, and reasonably priced drinks. Oh, yeah, they also have some of Detroit’s hottest women dancing live for your viewing pleasure. Not a rowdy strip club by any stretch of the imagination, so leave your adolescent inner self at home.

Silk Stockings
15569 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.864.3838

Silk Stockings is among a handful of fully nude strip clubs in Detroit, which in layman’s terms means no booze. But, the women are fine and the pricing is comparable to other adult clubs and, hey, they’re fully nude. Drink someplace else.

Subi’s Place
12916 Northline, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.283.2050

Subi’s Place has been catering to Detroit’s adult club needs since 1971, so you know with a running history like that it has to be good. Some of the hottest girls of any strip club we’ve seen and, oh what variety, it’s like being a kid in some adult candy store. The drinks flows freely and they also offer lunch and dinner, but we believe that after you see the ladies, food will be the last thing on your mind.

Toy Chest
18728 Ford Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.593.1645

We’d say that the Toy Chest is probably the most fun strip club in Detroit. You’re encouraged to let a little of you’re wild side out which separates the Toy Chest from most other gentleman’s clubs, we mean you still have to respect the rules of the road, as it were, but have fun, that’s what strip clubs are for. Also, the Toy Chest, has phenomenal women with some national stars rolling through when they’re in Detroit.

Trumpp’s
21413 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.592.1190

Seriously, you can feel like the Donald himself at Trumpp’s. This gentleman’s club is upscale and they really do accommodate your every need. Good drinks, covered. Fine dining, covered. Cigars, covered. Beautiful ladies, uncovered. Anyway that is the whole point of a strip club, getting taken care of while watching some hotties.

Tycoon’s
12210 E. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.372.0660

Tycoon’s is a good place, but not in the upper echelon so far as Detroit strip clubs go. The drinks are good and the prices are right, but the entertainment could improve. If the cabbie takes you here, tell him to keep driving there are better adult clubs out there, find them.
