from www.freep.com – A teenage girl who had been illegally dancing at the All Star topless club on 8 Mile in Detroit — prompting the club to be padlocked for a year by authorities — was caught illegally dancing at a second club Monday, police said.
The girl, who was 14 when she was discovered dancing in April, has since turned 15, Detroit Police spokesman John Roach said. While publicly padlocking All-Star on Monday afternoon, police got a tip that the same girl was dancing at another strip club.
Just hours later, police found her inside Club Onyx on Joy Road, Roach said. Like All Star, that club also could be declared a public nuisance and ordered shut for a year, Roach said.
Officials with the club couldn’t be reached for comment today.
A bar manager has been arrested but hasn’t yet been charged with a crime. Roach said the manager could face a charge of child sexually abusive activity, which is the charge that had been leveled against an All-Star manager. That case is still pending.
The girl is now at a youth home, Roach said. Her mother previously had filed an incorrigibility petition declaring the teen uncontrollable and asking for court intervention.
Soon after the girl was discovered at All Star, her mother told the Free Press that she wanted that club shut for good. She said her daughter was cognitively impaired. The Free Press does not identify alleged victims of sex abuse.
The latest tip about the girl did not come from her family, Roach said.
Roach said Club Onyx had recently been warned about employing underage dancers. All dancers at Detroit topless clubs are required to have dance cards issued by the city, he said.
Roach said it appears the girl provided the club with a fake ID that indicated she was old enough to dance there, but she did not have a valid dance card.
