A Georgia judge ruled last week that the sexually oriented Love Shack is in contempt for continuing to operate after a permanent injunction was issued against it.
Judge Ural Glanville issued a $500 fine to the Johns Creek business for criminal contempt and ordered a $3,000-per-day fine if the business remains open. Owner John Cornetta could face jail time.
Glanville ordered the injunction because the Love Shack is violating city ordinances by operating in an area not zoned for sexually oriented businesses.
“The message in this story is that it pays to be prepared,” said Pat Trueman, special counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund. “The city, not the strip club, is in the driver’s seat because it had the foresight to pass a sexually oriented business ordinance.”
