EASTON, Pa. — A Pennsylvania father accused of hosting a teen party featuring alcohol and a stripper pole says he can't get a fair trial because of media coverage.
Steven A. Russo will ask a Northampton County judge for a change of venue after the judge rejected a plea agreement last month. A hearing on the request is scheduled for Friday.
The 37-year-old Bethlehem Township man was charged with corruption of minors, providing then with alcohol and other charges. He was charged after racy photos surfaced of students drinking and dancing at a stripper pole at his house.
Defense attorney Erv McLain says the story has been so sensationalized that Russo can't get a fair trial locally.
Russo is currently in prison after being convicted of stalking an ex-girlfriend.
This has got to be the best dad in the world right?! Like my dad wouldn't let me have more then one dude over growing up. This dad is an american hero getting a stripper pole and booze for the kids, like can it get any better!? God knows if this is a crime I'll be committing a crime the day my son turns 16.
