The Roxy’s Pub Scandal File: Lawsuits, the 2017 Video & 2010 Rooftop Death

Subject: The October 15, 2017 incident at Roxy’s Pub, 309 Clematis Street, West Palm Beach, and the litigation that followed. · Prepared: June 21, 2026 · Primary record source: Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller — eCaseView (15th Judicial Circuit), supplemented by news reporting and Florida corporate filings.

Bottom line up front

The premise was right: owner John P. Webb was personally named as a defendant — but not in the first lawsuit. There were two separate lawsuits, and the public record (which the indexed/secondary sources said did not exist) is in fact fully available in the county court system:

• The original 2018 suit — O’Neil(l) & Vaughn v. Roxy’s Pub LLC and UTEX94 LLC — named only the corporate entities. It was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on February 14, 2019, after the plaintiffs’ first attorney withdrew.
• The refiled 2019 suit — Vaughn & O’Neill v. Webb, John, et al. — added John Webb personally, five corporate entities, the bar’s manager, several named employees, and six “Unknown Employee” defendants. After five years of litigation it was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice on May 10, 2024.

A dismissal with prejudice is final and bars refiling. Coming after both sides had served formal “proposals for settlement” (offers of judgment), it is the hallmark of a confidential settlement — though the settlement terms themselves are not in the public file. That is how the matter ended.

The two plaintiffs — anonymized in 2018 news coverage because they were 19 — are named in the court record as Bailey Vaughn and Audra O’Neill (spelled “O’Neil” in the 2018 case caption).

The underlying incident (Oct. 15, 2017)

Per the lawsuit allegations as reported by CBS12 (WPEC), on the night of October 15, 2017:

• Roxy’s bartenders allegedly served the two 19-year-old women free vodka-cranberry cocktails knowing they were under the legal drinking age;
• management allegedly failed to intervene as employees and patrons filmed them simulating sex while naked on the dance floor;
• the footage allegedly appeared briefly on Roxy’s own Facebook page before being copied to pornographic websites;
• Roxy’s said four employees were fired afterward;
• the women, through counsel, said they rejected settlement offers of roughly $1,000 each, stating they wanted to make sure it never happened again.

These allegations are claims made in litigation; the cases ended without any judicial finding of liability.

Case #1 — the original 2018 lawsuit (corporate defendants only)

What happened in it:

• Mar. 22, 2018 — Complaint filed by both women (Audra O’Neill and Bailey Vaughn as petitioners), with first discovery requests served the same day. Plaintiffs also filed motions to seal petitions for approval of their attorney-employment agreements and a notice of confidential filing (the clerk later marked the matter not confidential).
• Apr.–May 2018 — Defense counsel appears; extensions of time; one defense firm (Cole, Scott & Kissane) withdraws for UTEX94, with Charles B. Hernicz remaining.
• June–Aug. 2018 — Dueling “proposals for settlement” (offers of judgment) by both defendants and plaintiffs — this is the period the September 2018 news coverage captured (the ~$1,000 offers the women rejected).
• Aug. 13, 2018 — Court grants the motion to dismiss as to Counts III & IV; defendants then answer.
• Sept. 13, 2018 — CBS12 reports the women turned down the settlements and want a trial; depositions expected “in a few weeks.”
• Dec. 11, 2018 — Plaintiffs’ attorney Jeffrey Luhrsen moves to withdraw.
• Feb. 14, 2019 — Plaintiffs file a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal without prejudice; case disposed.

The “without prejudice” dismissal preserved their right to refile — which they promptly did with new counsel and a much broader defendant list.

Case #2 — the refiled 2019 lawsuit (John Webb named personally)

Defendants (the full list from the court’s Party Names tab):

• John Webb (named personally)
• Roxy’s Pub LLC
• RP Palm Beach LLC (d/b/a Roxy’s Pub)
• Small Time Restaurant Group LLC
• UTEX94 LLC
• Von Esselborn Inc
• Sandra Webb Lawson (bar manager / prior operator-entity manager)
• Kevin Brown, Scott Smith, Tony Close, Adrian Gutierrez, Jaimes Braun (named individuals)
• Unknown Employee 1 through Unknown Employee 6 (the staff alleged to have served and/or filmed the women)

The cluster of corporate entities maps onto Roxy’s layered ownership: Von Esselborn Inc holds the real estate; RP Palm Beach LLC was the operator d/b/a Roxy’s Pub at the time of the incident; Roxys Pub LLC was the prior operator entity; UTEX94 LLC and Small Time Restaurant Group LLC are related operating entities — all tied to John P. Webb.

Timeline of the 2019 case:

• May 20, 2019 — Complaint filed; summonses issued days later to John Webb and the entities/individuals.
• May 29, 2019 — Amended complaint (same parties).
• July 2, 2019 — Ryan Kadyszewski appears for Webb and the corporate defendants.
• July 9, 2019 — Plaintiffs move to disqualify defense counsel and for judicial default.
• Aug. 20, 2019 — Judge Kastrenakes denies the disqualification and default motions.
• Sept. 6, 2019 — Defendants move to dismiss the amended complaint; extensive discovery responses follow.
• Oct. 14 & Dec. 11, 2019 — Defendants serve proposals for settlement (offers of judgment) on the plaintiffs.
• Oct. 31, 2019 — Motion to dismiss granted in part / denied in part.
• Nov. 15, 2019 — Second Amended Complaint filed.
• Oct. 9, 2020 — Court dismisses numerous counts (2, 3, 6, 9, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21) with leave to amend.
• Oct. 29, 2020 — Third Amended Complaint; Dec. 1, 2020 — Answer & affirmative defenses.
• Oct. 25, 2021 — Order setting jury trial for the March 28 – May 20, 2022 docket.
• Jan. 2022 — Court grants plaintiffs’ motion to add parties and continue the trial date.
• Feb. 6 & 20, 2022 — Fourth Amended Complaint (adds defendant Jaimes Braun).
• 2022–2024 — Discovery battles, motions to compel, corporate-representative depositions, and depositions of both plaintiffs (Audra O’Neill on May 26, 2023; Bailey Vaughn on June 21, 2023).
• 2024 — Case reassigned to Judge Carolyn Bell; Mar. 13, 2024 designated to the general jury-trial track.
• May 10, 2024 — Plaintiffs file a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal WITH prejudice; case disposed the same day.

What the disposition means

A voluntary dismissal with prejudice ends the case permanently and bars the plaintiffs from suing again on the same facts. Plaintiffs almost never give up their claims with prejudice for nothing; combined with the repeated settlement proposals exchanged by both sides, the strong inference is that the parties reached a confidential out-of-court settlement in spring 2024. The settlement amount and terms are not part of the public court file, so the dollar figure (if any) cannot be confirmed from the record. What is documented and certain: there was no trial, no verdict, and no judicial finding of liability against John Webb or any entity — the case resolved by the plaintiffs’ own dismissal.

Correcting the secondary-source claim

The widely-circulated write-up (wpbroxys.com, footnote 30) stated: “No case number or final disposition surfaced in indexed sources, so how this ended is not publicly documented.” That is now superseded. The county court system holds the full record:

• Original case: 50-2018-CA-003541-XXXX-MB — dismissed without prejudice, Feb. 14, 2019.
• Refiled case naming John Webb personally: 50-2019-CA-006646-XXXX-MB — dismissed with prejudice, May 10, 2024.

The reason it didn’t “surface in indexed sources” is that the operative case is captioned Vaughn v. Webb, classified as a “Business Tort,” and does not contain the words “Roxy’s,” “underage,” or “video” in its style — so keyword/news searches miss it. It only appears when you search the corporate-entity or individual party names (Von Esselborn Inc, RP Palm Beach LLC, Roxys Pub LLC, or Webb, John) in the clerk’s docket system.

Subject: The December 2010 death of Jessica Harris, who fell from the Sky309 rooftop bar at Roxy’s Pub, 309 Clematis Street, West Palm Beach, and the litigation that followed. · Prepared: June 21, 2026 · Primary record source: Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller — eCaseView (15th Judicial Circuit), supplemented by 2010–2011 news reporting.

Bottom line up front

The secondary source was wrong on the key point. It said “No lawsuit was found arising from it.” In fact there was a lawsuit — a fully litigated wrongful-death / premises-liability case that went all the way to a jury trial and ended in a directed verdict and final judgment for Roxy’s:

• Case: Brian Harris v. Roxy’s, Inc. d/b/a Roxy’s Pub, Case No. 50-2011-CA-007486-XXXX-MB, Palm Beach County Circuit Court (Circuit Civil — Premises Liability Commercial).
• Filed: May 20, 2011, by Brian Harris (Jessica’s ex-husband), on behalf of her two minor children. Plaintiff’s attorney: Carl J. Wald.
• Outcome: After roughly a year of intensive discovery and a jury trial in late April 2012, on May 2, 2012 the court (Judge David French) granted a DIRECTED VERDICT for Roxy’s and entered FINAL JUDGMENT in the defendant’s favor (recorded at O.R. Book 025180, Page 00283). The docket records the case as “DISPOSED BY JURY TRIAL.” The plaintiff lost; Roxy’s then moved to tax its attorney’s fees and costs as the prevailing party.

A directed verdict for the defendant means the judge found the plaintiff’s evidence legally insufficient to support a verdict in his favor — the case never reached the jury for a decision. So the outcome was a complete defense win for Roxy’s, consistent with the bar’s public statement that the rooftop complied with all applicable codes.

Important distinction from the 2017 case: here, John Webb was not a defendant. The only defendant was the corporate operating entity, Roxy’s, Inc. Webb appears in the docket once — as a deposition witness (his deposition was noticed for March 20, 2012) — not as a party. (This case also explains why it didn’t surface under “Von Esselborn Inc”: the entity sued was Roxy’s, Inc., the 2005 Florida corporation tied to Webb, which was voluntarily dissolved mid-litigation in November 2011 but remained the named defendant through final judgment.)

The underlying incident (Dec. 21, 2010)

Per 2010–2011 news reporting:

• In the early hours of December 21, 2010 (around 1:30 a.m.), Jessica Harris, 39, of the Lake Worth/Lantana area — a home health aide and mother of two young daughters — fell roughly two stories from Roxy’s rooftop bar, Sky309, on Clematis Street, and died.
• Accounts varied: some witnesses said she climbed onto or stepped over the security rail and said words to the effect of “look what I can do” before slipping; others said she jumped after an argument with a man at the bar.
• Police characterized it as a fall and said it was not a suicide. Roxy’s stated the rooftop complied with all applicable ordinances, codes, and state laws.

The lawsuit — case detail

Theory of the case

The complaint alleged premises liability: that the rooftop guardrail/barrier was inadequate, and that had it been adequate, Jessica Harris would not have been able to fall. The defense contested causation and the railing’s adequacy, put on engineering and architecture experts who attested the rooftop and guardrail met code (affidavits of Kelly D. Yates, AIA; Allen Wieder, PE; David W. Stewart, PE; and others), and raised an alcohol/intoxication defense — the subject of extensive motions in limine over blood-alcohol evidence and the decedent’s history.

Timeline

• Dec. 21, 2010 (~1:30 a.m.) — Jessica Harris, 39, falls ~two stories from the Sky309 rooftop at Roxy’s, 309 Clematis St., and dies. Police call it a fall, not a suicide.
• May 23–24, 2011 — Palm Beach Post and WPBF report the family is suing.
• May 20, 2011 — Brian Harris files the wrongful-death/premises-liability complaint (Case No. 50-2011-CA-007486) against Roxy’s, Inc. d/b/a Roxy’s Pub.
• June 2011 — Roxy’s answers; defense counsel (Andrew J. Rochen) appears. First amended complaint filed June 29, 2011.
• Oct. 3, 2011 — Court sets jury trial.
• Nov. 2011 — Heavy discovery: medical/records subpoenas, expert disclosures. (The defendant corporate entity, Roxy’s, Inc., was voluntarily dissolved with the State on Nov. 7, 2011, but remained the named defendant.)
• Feb. 14, 2012 — Defendant moves for summary judgment; both sides litigate motions in limine (alcohol/drug history, blood-alcohol results, prior interactions with the rooftop guardrail, sexual-history evidence).
• Mar. 20, 2012 — John Webb deposed as a witness (not a party).
• Mar. 8 / Apr. 4, 2012 — Mediation held; result: impasse.
• Apr. 23–24, 2012 — Jury trial before Judge David French.
• May 2, 2012 — Court grants DIRECTED VERDICT for Roxy’s, Inc.; FINAL JUDGMENT entered for the defendant (O.R. Book 025180, Pg. 00283). Docket: “Disposed by Jury Trial.”
• May 17, 2012 — Roxy’s moves to tax attorney’s fees and costs as the prevailing party.

Correcting the secondary-source claim

The wpbroxys.com long-read (footnote 31) stated there was a 2010 rooftop death but that “No lawsuit was found arising from it.” The county court record shows the opposite: a wrongful-death suit was filed in May 2011, litigated for a year (242 docket entries), tried to a jury, and resolved by a directed verdict / final judgment for Roxy’s on May 2, 2012. The reason it may not have “surfaced” in general searches is the same pattern as the 2017 matter — the case is captioned by the parties (Harris v. Roxy’s, Inc.) and classified generically as “Premises Liability Commercial,” with no “rooftop,” “Sky309,” or “death” terms in the style. It only appears by searching the plaintiff’s name (Harris, Brian) or the operating entity (Roxy’s, Inc.) in eCaseView.
