SEATTLE — Three defendants in a federal racketeering case have agreed to shut down four of the Seattle area’s most notorious strip clubs.
Leroy Richard Christiansen, David Carl Ebert and Steven Michael Fueston agree that they’ll plead guilty this afternoon, shut down the clubs and turn them over to the federal government. The plea deals must be accepted by a federal judge.
The three men are defendants in the federal racketeering prosecution of Seattle strip club boss Frank Colacurcio Sr. and his son, Frank Jr. Investigators say prostitution, money laundering and mail fraud was taking place at the clubs.
The clubs to be shut down are Honey’s in Everett, Rick’s in Seattle, Sugar’s in Shoreline and Fox’s in Tacoma. Criminal charges still pend against the Colacurcios.
