I think kntoran has it right about him deserving what he got. Most women just do this humiliating job because they are desperate for the cash they don't need someone wanting to get a feel too. That kick he got probably had an accumalation of anger behind it for his type.

Well, it is a he said/she said kind of issue. He denies ever touching her and she says the smack provoked the response. No-touch rules have been repealed in many cities such to allow lap-dances. From the comments of the dancer, I suspect Cheetah is one of them.
My bet is the guy did slap her on the rear and she did spin and kick out at him. While his conduct was poor to say the least, he should not be permanently damaged from his night of "relaxation". Bouncers are present to keep harmony between the dancers and the patrons. They failed. They are hired by the establishment to do such. Since these positions exists, it is obviously part of normal business.
I think Cheetah's owes this guy money. The buyer/seller agreement was definitely not met on one end of this deal. This is the price of business in THIS business.
I think the dancer owes nothing or at minimum the counter sexual harassment suit should offset any differences.
I think the guy should seriously reconsider slapping women on the rear end...it is nice to see that he will have scars from his brush with sexual harassment.

There were many witnesses to this. From what I gathered from the FNC report (did not look at the links) the guy was drunk and after getting hit he carried on as normal even going to the bar to get another drink. Maybe he did not realize how badly he was injured and that added to the physical hurt. As was said the 'security' did not perform, they should have called an ambulance despite the guy refusing it - yes they asked him.

Dont get me wrong. The guy deserves what he got. He deserves his headaches, double vision, screwed up nose and scaring that is going to come from trying to fix it. Unfortunately, what he deserves isnt exactly what is at stake here.
All the prosecution has to do is establish that slapping a woman on the rear in this establishment happens quite often and is actually kind of expected by the dancers. This should not be at all hard to do, if this guy's lawyers have any skills at all. So it is a occupational hazard.
OK...she...working on behalf of Cheetah's, injured him.
Cheetah's has to pay!
Say you are in a grocery store and the grocery stocking clerk breaks a bottle of oil on the floor. Before they have time to clean it up, you run through it unknowingly, slip and fall and damage your back such that you cannot work for 6 months. You sue the store. You win. You dont sue the stock clerk. The store failed to met the expectations of the transaction. You expected to go into the store and purchase goods. You shouldnt have been running, but you were and while it was your negligence for running through the stuff, the store is still at fault for not protecting you.
We only get wrapped up in this because the guy was a jerk. However, it is the responsibility of Cheetah's to protect this jerk...even against himself and his own actions. That is why they have bouncers.

Comments: I am a woman who works at a strip club, and just because I work there doesn't mean its a free for all to slap my butt. I would had done the same thing she did. Plus this guy went back in to drink more and refused medical attention, sounds like he wasn't hurt that bad and it's fishy to me.
I can see your point Vincenzo that the strip club is responsible for not protecting him from himself. I think that the fact hat he refused medical attention at the time of the incident shows how drunk he was. But in court is that refusal for medical attention going to get the club off the hook. After all they did offer to get him medical attention.
It really doesnt matter if he came back to the club and drank more. If you get hit in a car accident and later get whiplash, the driver that caused the accident is still held accountable even if crash victim denied treatment initially.

Shageer, 28, said she is an old-school kind of exotic dancer. "Back in the old days, guys couldn't touch at all, especially smacking your bum that hard," she said. "But the rules have gradually just slipped away. The girls have just let it go." |
