Club to Close for 14 Days to Settle Prostitution Allegations With the city.

PT’s Showclub will close for two weeks in January after reaching a settlement with the city over alleged prostitution and public indecency at the strip club. Business in the unassuming building at 1601 West Evans Avenue will pause from January 2 to January 15, as PT’s is required to shut its doors for fourteen days as a penalty for three admitted violations of city and state law related to soliciting or engaging in prostitution, according to a settlement order issued on Monday, November 27, by Molly Duplechian, executive director of the Denver Department of Excise & Licenses. In July, Excise & Licenses issued an order to show cause after the Denver Police Department conducted a sting operation at the RCI Hospitality-owned strip joint on March 31 and found that the establishment had broken ten different laws at the state and local levels related to prostitution and public indecency. All but three of the charges were dropped as a result of the November 27 settlement. After the DPD sting, the Denver City Attorney’s Office requested that Excise & Licenses pursue disciplinary action against PT’s, but on November 16, it sent Duplechian a letter asking her to consider certain conditions for a settlement agreement, most of which she applied.
