.- Born-again
bad boy actor Stephen Baldwin has taken up a battle against a porn
store opening in Nyack, the Rockland County town where he lives, and
Catholic Citizenship has joined him in the fight, reported the New York
Daily News.
The lobby group
filed a petition, claiming Nyack's planning board failed to consider
the impact the porn store could have on the community, when they
approved its construction in January.
Baldwin, 39,
said he is not directly involved with the petition but supports it. The
father of two says the shop would bring sex offenders and deviants into
town. He called it “ridiculous” that the shop will be located 200 feet
from an elementary school.
A lawsuit,
claiming that the city’s planning board has not followed all of the
proper procedures, has been filed with the Supreme Court in Rockland
County.
The town’s attorney, Walter Sevastian, said the town believes it followed all the proper procedures.
Baldwin has threatened to photograph store patrons and publicize the pictures.
