Dancer sues Shenanigans Gentlemen’s Club, claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted

Dancer sues Shenanigans Gentlemen’s Club

She claims the owners of the club drugged her and forced her to have sex with customers.

A former exotic dancer at Shenanigans Gentlemen’s Club alleges she was drugged and forced to have sex with customers during the 11 months she worked at the club.

It’s all detailed in a just-filed 8-page lawsuit.

The dancer started working at Shenanigans in April 2023.

From the start, the lawsuit states she was forced to sell a minimum of $500 worth of cocaine to customers.

Eventually, it escalated to drugging the customers with chloroform to steal their money.

The dancer claims it was all under the direction of Robert Savova and Luiggi Canessa; the owner and general manager of shenanigans.

Canessa was arrested back in April after the FBI investigated the club for allegations of drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and wire fraud.

After three months at the club, the dancer claims she lost all control over her decision-making after being forced to take drugs herself and allegedly assigned customers to engage in sexual activity.

The lawsuit states the dancer was then forced to move into Canessa’s home as he continued to assign her customers.

The lawsuit claims the dancer was even sexually assaulted by Canessa. It resulted in a pregnancy that later ended as a miscarriage.
