AUSTINTOWN — Allowed to reopen its doors, the Go Go Cabaret has now put the township in the spotlight.
Cabaret owner Sebastian Rucci filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against the township, alleging harassment and unfair treatment to his business.
Rucci alleges the township violated his First Amendment rights and targeted the business for zoning violations. The township also opposed his bid for a liquor license renewal.
Rucci was unavailable for comment Friday.
Township officials weren’t surprised the lawsuit had been filed.

The township did nothing wrong. He violated zoning, refused to comply, they did what they needed to do. Nor should he get his liquor license back, you serve to underage kids, you don't deserve it back. Just another useless lawsuit to try and create sympathy. Go someplace else with your drug den, it is not wanted here. All except for foxtrot. Hey, maybe foxtrot would be willing to let you operate out of his home since he loves this business so much.
Austintown should let them re-open and start doing DUI checkpoints right there on 46....I went there two times as a driver for my drunk friends and you wouldnt believe how many people would leave there hammered..
Way to put Austintown on the map!
foxtrot, thanks for making me laugh today. more dancers living in poverty? seriously?
Why is it that you can Drink and Dance Naked on one side of the I-80 overpass bridge, but not on the other? Who ISN'T doing their job and collecting a "money envelope" on each side?
great idea bigeazy hahahaha
the sad thing is foxtrot isn't joking.
LostPatrol has it right. Obviously whoever owns the joint on the south side of interstate 80 has more power (politicians on payroll) than Rucci. Anyone know who really owns the "good" strip joint and how about the asian massage parlor that is nothing more than a house of prostitution.
The re-opening of the drug den will lure the subculture back into the area . The fallout from their operations will keep the area in the forefront of the news.
"I've had dancers live with me before, and they were the best girlfriends I ever had, and the most down-to-earth and "real.""
They sound like great girls. How many foxtrot?
"It seems as if you all would be happier if these girls had to have sex for money instead of dancing. "
False choice. Just because you can't dance in a club does not mean you have to prostitute yourself. Unless you're showing that a link does indeed exist.
hahaha where are you getting these statistics? who has done any kind of study on prostitution in Austintown? Is this some private study you've "financed"?
I'm having trouble making the connection between not dancing naked and being forced into obesity, welfare, prostitution and unwanted pregnancy. If you're speaking from personal experience from one of those dancers that lived with you, then maybe you're the expert.
I think your use of the 70% figure to describe women as having some sort of sexual relationship for financial gain reveals a lot about yourself. It's extremely misogynistic, and flat out fallacious.
Who are these women you hang around?
And again, if these women are FORCED into prostitution as a result of them not being able to dance, what happens to them when they get older? Do they automatically become prostitutes?
You're talking out of your ___ on this one.
"The dancers will stay physically fit, thus reducing future health care costs."
Yeah, until they start requiring treatment for all of the STD's they've contracted from doing God only knows what else in those kids of places.
I don't know the same women as you apparently foxtrot. Maybe you need to broaden your social circles. I guess included in that 90% would be your mother, your grandmother, aunts, sisters, cousins, etc. since 90% is pretty high. Personally, the women in my family wouldn't do what you explain. I guess they make up the 10%.
The secretaries at my workplace do not sleep with the bosses. They have their own families and husbands.
"Face it TB, outside of your liberal world of socialist college professors it is mostly a world filled with sluts,"
Honestly, this worries me. You don't live in Pittsburgh and have a gym membership do you?
I still don't see how these prostitutes (and real pros, not the ones you see in the movies) are forced into it because they're not dancing. Most of them choose it due to addiction.
You don't give women very much credit. Honestly, it's pretty scary.
