UPDATE: CHARGES DISMISSED – Porny Daniels ARRESTED!

Porny Daniels got arrested tonight for letting someone touch her while she was on stage strippin’. Her lawyer Avenatti is pissed and is calling it a setup!

Wow Avenatti is starting to sound like Trump a little, don’t ya think?

According to Reuters, Porny was performing at some perv joint named “Sirens Gentlemen’s Club” tonight and tomorrow night. I doubt tomorrow night’s gonna happen at this point but that’s probably for the best.

Who knows, maybe this was a setup…by Avenatti so he could get more CNN publicity!

Nah I’m kidding. Sorta.

Because you know he’s gonna be on CNN all day tomorrow crying about this.

UPDATE:

And there’s more to the story…Porny Daniels did some of the touching!

Via 10TV.com:

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was performing at Sirens Adult Entertainment Club on Cleveland Avenue in north Columbus. According to an arrest report, Daniels began dancing around 11:30 Wednesday night. During her performance, officers in the club said they witnessed Daniels using her bare breasts to smack patrons. The officers also said they observed Daniels fondling the breasts of female patrons.

The report states that when the officers approached the stage, Daniels held the face of the female officer between her breasts. It also says she did the same to a male officer. The report goes on to say Daniels fondled the buttocks and breasts of another officer. At that point, court documents state that a fourth officer exited the club to request assistance to make an arrest.

Daniels was arrested by Columbus Police and charged with three counts of “Illegally Operating Sexually Oriented Business – Employee Knowingly Touch Any Patron,” according to online court records. She is scheduled to be arraigned in Franklin Municipal Court on Friday morning.
Police brought Daniels to the Jackson Pike Correctional Facility around 4:30 Thursday morning.

10TV’s Angela An spoke with Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, by phone on Thursday morning. He says her arrest is politically motivated.

“I have reason to believe it was politically motivated. There’s no question these officers were undercover at that strip club. They knew my client would be performing there and I find this to be a complete waste of resources,” Avenatti said. He tweeted Thursday morning that his client would be canceling her scheduled appearance.

Back in 2007, Ohio lawmakers passed the Community Defense Act. The law restricts the hours that sexually oriented businesses can operate. It also states that a patron cannot touch a nude or semi-nude dancer in a club anywhere on the premises or in the parking lot. When asked if he knew about the law, Avenatti said, “I’m aware of the law. I think it’s a ridiculous use of resources.”

Daniels was released on a $6,000 bond on Thursday morning.

UPDATE: Charges dismissed!

The Columbus City Attorney’s Office has dismissed the charges filed against Stormy Daniels.

Statement from Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein:

“My office has reviewed the charges filed by the Columbus Division of Police, and I’ve determined that these crimes were not committed, based on the fact that Ms. Clifford has not made regular appearances at this establishment as required under the law. We’ll do the same inquiry for the other defendants involved, as well. My office was not involved in this sting operation, so any additional questions about it must be directed to the Columbus Division of Police. The charges have been dismissed.”

So she’s not a regular, therefore no crime was committed despite all the apparent boob smacking.
