GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - A private law firm has been paid nearly $80,000 to help Greenville County prosecutors in their fight against a strip club that has closed the business two times.
The Greenville News obtained records that show the payments to the Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough law firm.
Solicitor Walt Wilkins says about two-thirds of the money ended up coming from a settlement with Platinum Plus over paying some of the county’s legal fees.
A judge first ordered Platinum Plus closed for six months in 2015 after deputies found dancers were showing too much skin or soliciting prostitution. A judge again ordered a six-month closure in August after finding the club still wasn’t following the county’s laws.
