The owners of Larry Flynt's Hustler Club were fined $525 by the city liquor board yesterday for violating the prohibition on sexual touching. Lt. Paul Blair, with the city police vice squad, said he and other officers went to the club Nov. 16 in a routine check of The Block establishments. Blair said in addition to seeing [Justin Mohney] engaged in sexual touching with a dancer, they observed illegal contact between a dancer and a cocktail waitress and between a patron and a dancer. In describing the violation involving a dancer and an off-duty cocktail waitress, [Peter Prevas] said: \"If I were to familiarly hug Mr. Mohney, our breasts have touched,\" he said, generating mild irritation and impatience among board members.

[Robert L. Blackburn]'s connection at the liquor board, according to the affidavit, was chief liquor inspector Samuel T. Daniels Jr., an 18- year veteran of the state agency who was recently selected by the board to lead a renewed crackdown on The Block, Baltimore's adult entertainment hub. Blackburn told the women that the liquor board had been \"coming down hard\" on clubs but that \"Chief Daniels of the liquor board\" was giving him \"information on what they are doing.\" Later, Blackburn asked the women if they wanted to work at his Windsor Club at 12 S. Calvert St. According to the affidavit, Blackburn said, \"I do have private parties ... if you girls would be interested in that.\" The police officers said Blackburn told them they could also perform sex acts at his club.

Greenberg also represented six women who sued two adult clubs in Prince George's County in federal court in 2012, alleging that the clubs did not pay them the minimum wage required by the Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage laws. After the women won their case in U.S. District Court, the clubs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond.

In this case, [Jay A. Benjamin] has applied for a different kind of use permit. The one that the club had previously - \"banquet hall\" - did not allow the Tunnel to operate as a nightclub. Benjamin has since requested a tavern permit with live entertainment and dancing. A tavern is an allowed use at its location, 320 N. Eutaw St. \"It would appear there would be pressure coming from above,\" [Peter A. Prevas] said, adding that he had no evidence of this. But although City Council members and the mayor's office complained, [Michael Savino], the city superintendent for zoning enforcement, said he felt no pressure to treat the Tunnel differently. On July 9, District Court Judge Jack I. Lesser issued a temporary injunction to keep the Tunnel closed until at least the end of this month. However, he warned city zoning officials not to stall Benjamin's efforts to obtain a new permit. Prevas said Savino's office has been cooperative. Benjamin could not be reached for comment.

A 1943 graduate of St. Augustine's Minor Seminary in Bay St. Louis, Miss., Mr. Wilson was ordained a permanent deacon by then Archbishop William D. Borders of the Baltimore Roman Catholic Archdioces in 1984. He was the first black clergyman ordained from the Parish of St. Cecilia in Baltimore. Born in Philadelphia and reared in Chincoteague, Va., Mr. Beebe's parents, [Clarence Lee Beebe] and Ida Virginia Whealton Beebe, were depicted as Grandpa and Grandma Beebe in Marguerite Henry's 1947 book, \"Misty of Chincoteague.\" Mr. Prevas is survived by two other sons, Nicholas Prevas and George Prevas, both of Baltimore; a daughter, Maria Angelos of Baltimore; six grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

\"Prevas made the false accusations and charges out of spite, ill will, and hatred toward [Timothy A.] Brown, Hopkins and the IOMMP,\" the suit states. Prevas' supposed hatred stems from being denied a union sinecure by Brown and Hopkins, whom Prevas strongly supported in union elections, said IOMMP lawyer Ernest A. Cohen. Prevas could not be reached for comment. The union's lawsuit is the second legal exchange between Prevas and the group's leadership. In a separate ongoing case, Prevas is suing Brown and [James T.] Hopkins, claiming they violated his right to privacy.

Baltimore nightclubbers in Baltimore will have to make do with calling it a night at 2 a.m. following a decision yesterday by the Court of Appeals, which upheld Maryland's right to prevent city establishments with liquor licenses from remaining open any later. Yesterday's decision was a blow to Redwood Trust owner Nicholas A. Piscatelli, who claimed the state law was unconstitutional, as well as other nightclub owners who were hoping that an extension of opening hours would attract more partygoers to downtown Baltimore. This was relevant because Baltimore's Board of Municipal and Zoning Appeals had agreed in October 2001 to allow Piscatelli to operate the premises after 2 a.m., and he argued that its decision took precedence.
