Strip club owner wants to open medical marijuana dispensary

In court documents, the women claim they were threatened by their boss after filing the complaint.

Mandera is alleged to have said, “Things are going to get ugly, that I am going to rake you through the coals, that you will never work in this industry again,  that lives are going to be ruined, that families are going to be ruined, and that wives are going to be dragged into this. And I have deeper pockets than you, and I will outlast you, and I don’t lose at anything.”

Another employee threatened one of the women that she would be “whacked,” court records show.

In a deposition, Mandera is alleged to have said rape is the only thing that would qualify as sexual harassment, court records show.

In 2006, a jury ruled in favor of the women and awarded them $2.3 million, court records show.

But in 2008, the two women settled with Mandera’s firm and received $200,000 each, court records show.

In both the strip club and medical marijuana issues, Mandera is represented by attorney Shiller.

His mother, the former alderman, has been angling to become the new, $107,000-a-year City Council Financial Analyst.
