A solid report from Fox News, although the reporter was mistaken about one key point: the Club has opened without materially addressing any of the community’s concerns.

Strip Club Shut Down For Allowing Sex Acts

(AP) SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.

A San Bernardino strip club has been shut down by a judge who also slapped the Flesh Club owner with a $25,000 fine for allowing sex acts in private VIP rooms.

Superior Court Judge Donald Alvarez has ordered the club closed for eight months beginning Nov. 14.

Flesh Club lawyer Roger Jon Diamond argued unsuccessfully that only a portion of the business should be shuttered because striptease dancing is a First Amendment-protected activity.

The city has battled the strip club for a decade, claiming it’s a house of prostitution.

City Attorney James Penman said he’s pleased with the judge’s decision. Source

Comment: It is our understanding Roger Jon Diamond is the Robertson Blvd. strip club legal counsel. For nearly 40 years he has successfully fought for the rights of nude dancers under the First Amendment.  That is fine, if only they just danced . . .
