Stormy Daniels arrested at strip club

Adult film star Stormy Daniels, who is locked in a court battle with President Donald Trump over their alleged affair, was arrested after allegedly “fondling” patrons at a strip club — a move her lawyer calls a “politically motivated” setup.

Daniels, 39, was apprehended without incident during her performance late Wednesday at the Sirens club in Columbus, Ohio after officers accused her of knowingly touching club patrons “in a specified anatomical area.”

According to an incident report published online by a local news outlet, two police detectives and an officer approached Daniels, who was topless and wearing a G-string, onstage after she was seen “using her bare breasts to smack the patrons” and “fondling the breasts of the female patrons.”

Daniels allegedly began holding her breasts against one female detective’s face, before then “forcing” the face of a male officer into her chest and “smacking his face with her bare breasts.”

She performed the same acts on a male officer after “fondling” his buttock and chest.

Ohio’s Community Defense Act prohibits employees who regularly appear “nude or semi-nude on the premises of a sexually oriented business” from being touched by or touching club-goers, unless they are members of the dancer’s immediate family.

Another officer in the back of the venue went to get backup before arresting Daniels, who was released on bond early Thursday.

Her lawyer Michael Avenatti offered a different version of events, saying multiple “undercover” officers “asked” for the touching.
