Ohio law dictates that “no employee who regularly appears nude or seminude on the premises of a sexually oriented business” is allowed to touch anyone who is not a member of their immediate family while nude or seminude on the premises of said establishment.
Daniels’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, weighed in on the charges on Thursday morning, tweeting, “Just [received] word that my client @StormyDaniels was arrested in Columbus Ohio whole performing the same act she has performed across the nation at nearly a hundred strip clubs. This was a setup & politically motivated. It reeks of desperation. We will fight all bogus charges. #Basta.”
