Strip club sues 14 year-old kidnapped stripper

In the annals of fed up stories, there are few that can quite match up to this one: A strip club who employed a “Miss America”-looking 14 year-old to strip is now suing her…after she was kidnapped and forced into stripping in the first place.

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 said.

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.

The suit seeks unspecified damages from Campbell, the girl and her parents, as well as a declaration from a judge that it did not intend to hire a minor.

“We’re the victims here,” Yaffe said.

So let’s get this straight…in a story in which a 14 year-old girl was kidnapped and forced into stripping at a club, possibly at risk of her own life, the strip club is the real victims. I have a pretty high threshold for scumminess, particularly when it involves sexy nude teens, but holy crap that’s low. Even low for a strip club that would employ a 14 year-old without even doing a background check or, I don’t know, looking to see if she’s wearing a Hannah Montana backpack. I wouldn’t be shocked if the lawsuit featured a kick to her teenage vagina as part of the damages.
