A strip club that hired a 14-year-old as an exotic dancer is now suing the girl, saying the seventh-grader swindled them into breaking state law.
The San Antonio teen allegedly exposed her breasts while working at Cheetah Club in Corpus Christi, a violation of state law.
Alan Yaffe, the club’s attorney, said the club didn’t know the girl was a minor.
“She came (into the club) with 6-inch stiletto heels and a miniskirt and looked just like a model from a Miss America’s contest,” Yaffe
“We’re the victims here,” Yaffe said.
The club is the victim? Mmmm…..
Police say Leslie Campbell, 48, kidnapped the teenager in San Antonio in March, took her to Corpus Christi, sexually assaulted her over the course of a week, gave her a false identification card and forced her to strip at the club.
Police say the girl, who has not been identified, escaped from Campbell’s home and has been reunited with her parents in San Antonio.
Campbell was arrested and remains in Nueces County Jail on charges of aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping.
Oh yeah, the club is so the victim here!
I don’t believe the 14 year old is innocent…not credible a 14 old is hostage…when she had so much freedom of movement.
That the club can sue successfully when they failed due diligence, isn’t likely…but today…who really knows.
Gotta love a pre-emptive strike…tends to put the bra on the other foot!

You’re such an idiot sometimes Alfred. You obviously do not have the ability to look at things through the eyes of others. A 14 year old girl in this case. It is very easy to force a girl to do something like this when you have kidnapped them. A 14 year old with limited life experience, who has gone through a traumatic assult is not likely to be able to think as clearly as yourself sitting infront of your computer in such a hard situation. you can threaten them, or their family with further violence, etc. You should really study these things a bit more before you make such comments. Guess its your Christian empathy we hear so much about coming through.
It’s like me saying something like “well the people in the plane in 9/11 deserved to die. They had numbers in their favour, and could easily overpowered them. They only had box-cutters afterall. They’re not innocent”
Double (triple) BS.
@#1,4 Not only that 14yrs old can have life experience but it is much easier to pretend and lie at that age. Stat. rape definitely and that idiot should end up in jail (but I’d bet on actual consent, for which I do not excuse him a bit). Club knew they have had minor (with fake doc’s) but they wanted profit. n jail and fines for them too. 14 yr’ old will likely bamboozle the system, but I believe that she is 100% complicit (from her actions). She should end up at least in some correctional facility.
#1, Alfred1: “I don’t believe the 14 year old is innocent…not credible a 14 old is hostage…”
hmmm, so…. Alfred1….. you couldn’t overpower a 14 year old girl if you wanted to?…. hmmmmm….
Girls use fake ids all the time because they know if they get caught the establishment/bar/etc is unlikely to call the police because “they are a girl”.
There are NO strip clubs hard up for applicants, especially in this economy.
I know some of you are geezerly and not living in 2009 and yet others of you are lamos unfamiliar with the females of the species …
But let me tell you, no club is hard up for dancers or strippers and girls think they can get away with anything.
Couple of points of no particular value:
These clubs are usually very adept at spotting fake IDs, losing their liquor license means losing the business. But they couldn’t spot this fake ID?
A 14 year old can look much older. I offer up any number of models that have appeared in fashion magazines, etc. But they had very talented make-up artists working on them. Who did the make-up on this girl? Herself? The creep who allegedly kidnapped her?
The lawyer for the club is suing the girl, the creep, and her PARENTS. Talk about the shotgun approach to lawsuits.
And finally, did the club actually hire her, as an employee. Most of the time, the performers are “independent contractors” to the club. The club doesn’t want to have to get into such things as wage and hour issues, tax withholding, job related injuries, and so on.
No report of a kidnapping from the parents?
This is Texas after all, anything to do with sex is guilty before proven innocent.
Only by Supreme Court order can we have Trojan Rubbers with vibrators and dildos for our wifes.
Daughter missing for two weeks and no one notices, or parents taking advantage of great fake id. (Maybe her mom’s??)
Why would the story of a 14 year old kid being kidnapped and raped bring out the trolls?
Alphie, you are such a jerk. Probably more than a little jealous because this old codger, who is still what, 15 – 20 years younger than you, got laid and you only have your hand. Some woman somewhere is very lucky you are single.
I don’t know if a missing persons report was filled on the girl or not. If not that needs to be investigated. It would suggest the parents gave consent.
I’m told that a fair number of female illegals are forced into the sex trade once they are in the states.
It isn’t clear that her “kidnapper” told the bar owner her real age or why the fake papers? I have known a few girls who were way underage that looked all grown up and if she had valid looking papers such as a drivers license, etc. I could see them falling for it. I’ll leave it to a judge and jury to figure this one out.
A week in captivity is more than enough to gain control over even a grown-up, let alone a child.
I have seen men break-down after a few days in isolation, and they weren’t being raped, threatened, etc.
After a week of what they are saying happened to her, him saying “do this and I might let you go” would be an incredible motivator.
Mr. Fusion…what kind of childhood did you have…in a covenant. At 14 its rock n rolling…she’s probably been in more motels than Gideon’s Bible.
they say she was hot all dolled up:
Brown shoes
Don’t make it
Brown shoes
Don’t make it
Quit school
Why fake it?
Brown shoes
Don’t make it…
TV dinner by the pool
Watch your brother grow a beard
Got another year of school
You’re okay–he’s too weird
Be a plumber
He’s a bummer
He’s a bummer
Every summer
Be a loyal plastic robot for a world that doesn’t care…
Smile at every ugly
Shine on your shoes & cut your hair
Be a joik
And go t’ woik
Be a joik
And go t’ woik
Be a joik
And go t’ woik
Be a joik
And go t’ woik
Do your job & do it right
Life’s a ball
TV tonight…
Do you love it?
Do you hate it?
There it is…
The way you made it…
YARRRRRRRRRRRGH-H-H!
A world of secret hungers
Perverting the men who make your laws
Every desire is hidden away
In a drawer… in a desk
By a naugahyde chair
On a rug where they walk and drool
Past the girls in the office
Hratche-plche
Hratche-plche
Hratche-plche
Hratche-plche
We see in the back of the City Hall mind
The dream of a girl about thirteen
Off with her clothes and into a bed
Where she tickles his fancy all night lonnnnnnnnng
His wife’s attending an orchid show
She squealed for a week to get him to go
But back in the bed, his teen-age queen
Is rocking & rolling & acting obscene
Baby baby
Hratche-plche
Hratche-plche
Baby baby
Hratche-plche
Hratche-plche
And he loves it! He loves it! It curls up his toes
She bites his fat neck and it lights up his nose
But he cannot be fooled, old City Hall Fred
She’s nasty! She’s nasty! She digs it in bed!
Do it again and do it some more
That does it by golly, it’s nasty for sure
Nasty nasty nasty, nasty nasty nasty
(Only thirteen and she knows how to nasty…)
She’s a dirty young mind
Corrupted, corroded
Well she’s thirteen today
And I hear she gets loaded
P-pum-m-mum-m-mum-m-mum
P-pum-m-mum-m-mum-m-mum
P-bum
If she were my daughter, I’d…
What would you do daddy?
If she were my daughter, I’d…
What would you do daddy?
If she were my daughter, I’d…
What would you do daddy?
Smother my daughter in chocolate syrup
And strap her on again, oh baby!
Smother that girl in chocolate syrup
And strap her on again
She’s a teen-age baby and she turns me on
I’d like to make her do a nasty on the White House lawn
Gonna smother that girl in chocolate syrup -
And boogie till the cows come home
Time to go home – Madge is on the phone
Gotta meet the Gurney’s
And a dozen grey attorneys
TV dinner by the pool
I’m so glad I finished school
Life is such a ball
I run the world from City Hall!
Brown Shoes Don’t Make It-Absolutely Free, Frank Zappa
In other words Fusie…don’t cry for me Argentina
#14, Ayatollah Alphie,
So now you justify rape with lyrics? Phuck you are a sick scumbag.
It doesn’t matter how she was dressed. She was kidnapped and held against her will. She was sexually abused and raped. In case the (KJV) doesn’t recognize it, those are very serious felonies and society as a whole takes a very dim view.
A 14 year old is a child.
What is this, Dvorak’s Home For Paedophiles And The Intellectually Challenged?
Shouldn’t there be editors editing this filth?
Girl was abused, regardless of her willingness to go alone. Next.

The prosecutor of the Duke Lacrosse team made almost exactly the same comments. Just an observation.

If it’s good enough for Letterman….
#15 I dispute your premise…I consider 13 the time when a child becomes responsible for their own actions:
The designation “bar mitzvah” appears first in the Talmud, where it refers to every grown member of the Jewish people (B. B.M. 96a). Thus it is synonymous with the Rabbinic terms gadol, meaning “adult,” and bar onshin, literally, “subject to punishment.” It also is used to refer to the time an individual reaches physical maturity (B. Kid. 16b). Soferim 18:7 speaks of taking the new bar mitzvah to the priests in the Temple in Jerusalem to receive a blessing. In the midrash, the age of thirteen is emphasized. According to Pirke d’Rabbi Eliezer 26, Abraham rejected his father’s idols at this age. Gen. Rabbah 63:10, on Gen. 35:27, explains that Jacob and Esau parted ways at thirteen, with Jacob going to study Torah and Esau to worship idols. At thirteen a child becomes responsible for his own sins; until that point he relies on the merit of his father, who is responsible for him (Yalk. Ruth 600).
Neusner, J., Neusner, J., Avery-Peck, A. J., Green, W. S., & Museum of Jewish Heritage (New York, N. Y. (2000).
While our law will hold the club responsible, I don’t consider that just…she was old enough to choose a different path.
Others at that age, when tempted, did so….so could she.
I’m surprised no one objected to Zappa’s lyrics…which are meant in irony and satire…for example, the politician pedophile considers her “nasty” because she likes sex…
Or symbol of incest on the white house lawn…to picture rejection of everything it stands for…but is in no way an endorsement of incest…
Or when I joke about you grabbing your ankles up and down the Daisy Chain…if you think picture the imagery…its obescene…but if you see the meaning of the words…they are just words, its not obscene…just like Frank told Steve Allen…
#19, Ayatollah Alphie,
No one complained about the lyrics simply because they are just that, lyrics. They carry no weight other than the author’s intention as music. To use them to bolster YOUR opinion though is to make those words your thoughts. If Zappa were to stand up and suggest that sex with a minor by a 48 y/o man was fine, he too would be condemned.
The same applies to your biblical idea that whatever someone wrote thousands of years ago has relevance in today’s society. That has no bearing on the laws of the land. Except in very narrow circumstances in some States, sex with anyone under the age of 18 is illegal.
You can not justify her rape with your own predatory intent. No matter how much hair you have on the palm of your hand.
