Gotta love Dallas.........12 year old stripper?!?! http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5654708.html Dallas club where 12-year-old stripper worked stays open Associated Press TOOLS Email Get section feed Print Subscribe NOW Comments (88) Recommend DALLAS — The city cannot shut down a Dallas strip club just because a 12-year-old danced nude there. The city ordinance that regulates sexually oriented businesses does not allow authorities to revoke the license of such a business for employing someone younger than 18. "There's a laundry list of things we can use to deny or revoke a license, but having a 12-year-old dancing in their establishment is not one of the things that automatically enables us to revoke their license," said Lt. Christina Smith, a Dallas police vice unit commander who oversees licensing of such establishments. Authorities say that during a two-week period last year, the sixth-grader danced at Diamonds Cabaret. They also say they found a 17-year-old girl working in the club in January. Police are continuing to investigate whether the club's management knew that the girl — a runaway at the time — was underage. In a faxed statement, the strip club management said it was "shocked and startled" by the allegations. "Diamond's Cabaret does not condone, support, nor promote, the delinquency of minors or exploitation of children," the statement read. Demonica Abron, 27, who worked as a stripper in the club, and David Bell, 22, have been charged with felony sexual performance of the child in connection with making the 12-year-old work at the club. Both are also accused of engaging in organized crime. Bell is accused of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and aggravated kidnapping. He was being held at the Dallas County Jail on Thursday in lieu of a $450,000 bail. It was unclear if Bell had an attorney. Abron also faces a prostitution charge. A telephone number listing for her could not be found.
I don't know........I look around at all the little Jon Benet Ramsey's and all of the little tweens at the mall who are dressing like and wearing makeup like hooker's and I start to think that 12 year old strippers---though a bit shocking---is really just the cutting edge of where society is heading.
So, did they knowingly employ a 12 year old? It's ****ed up either way but there's just something wrong about a 12 year old intentionally seeking out employment as a stripper.
I don't think they knowingly employed...I bet they don't employ at all. They're still ultimately responsible for who is working in their club. If appearance didn't give it away, I'm surprised a conversation didn't either. --- What do you like to do? Normal dancer: Smoke, drink, party, you know. Underage dancer: Watch Hannah Montana.
I think you should change the thread title. I thought it was going to be sexy since it had the word naughty in it.
Like the fact that it was in Dallas has any bearing on whether it happens elsewhere. It's sick no matter where it happens. And it happens in a lot of cities.
