Charges against Adult Film Actress Stormy Daniels dropped

Washington, July 13: Prosecutors in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday dismissed charges against adult film actress Stormy Daniels — famous for a purported 2006 affair with US President Donald Trump — following her arrest while performing at a strip club. “I am pleased to report that the charges against my client @stormydaniels have been dismissed in their entirety,” her attorney, Michael Avenatti, said on Twitter. The incident took place Wednesday night at the Sirens Gentlemen’s Club in Columbus, where Daniels was appearing as a part of a nationwide tour. Undercover officers were in the club as a part of “long-term investigation into allegations of human trafficking, prostitution, and other vice-related violations,” the Columbus police department said in a statement. Police said that the officers observed Daniels take off her top and push patrons’ faces into her chest and that she did the same to three detectives who approached the stage. The officers then arrested Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, under a 2007 Ohio law. Hours after Daniels was freed on bail of $6,054, Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein said that he decided the charges were not valid, “based on the fact that Ms. Clifford has not made regular appearances at this establishment as required under the law”.
