 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>Legal bills just keep piling up on Scores West boss <a href="http://nyobserver.com/node/36995">Richard Goldring</a>.
<p>Both the <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/12132007/news/regionalnews/woman_bares_suit_vs__scores_820758.htm"><em>Post</em></a> and <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/12/13/2007-12-13_exscores_waitress_files_harass_suit-2.html"><em>Daily News</em></a> today are reporting that Francis Vargas, a former waitress at the embattled West 28th Street strip club, is suing her former supervisors for sexual harrassment.</p>
<p>Ms. Vargas' complaints about unwanted rump smacks and cash offers for sex comes just two months after a class-action suit filed by pole dancers who claimed that Scores management was <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/10/11/2007-10-11_suit_bosses_skim_lap_dance_cash_from_sco.html">skimming money</a> from lapdance fees.</p>
<p>And the club is <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/11152007/news/regionalnews/bell_cop_gave_ok___scores_228429.htm">still battling</a> the State Liquor Authority in order to keep its license to sell booze after several dancers were charged with prostitution last winter.</p>
<p>Will all the litigation finally force Mr. Goldring to <a href="http://www.nyobserver.com/2007/strip-search-did-cops-flock-scores-west">sell</a> the 10,000-square-foot stripper-plex? Stay tuned. </p>]]></description>
