Former dancer alleges illegal activity at Arizona strip clubs
A former dancer at one of the three Arizona strip clubs facing a lawsuit has come forward, alleging customers were drugged and exploited for high-value credit card transactions. The lawsuit involves nearly 20 plaintiffs alleging similar experiences.
Excessive credit card charging at strip clubs
A dancer, referred to as “Bianca” to protect her identity, claims to have witnessed these incidents during her service at Skin Cabaret in Scottsdale. She recalls seeing customers appear disoriented and experience blackouts while their credit cards were excessively charged, with some transactions reaching $180,000.
Drugging allegations at Skin Cabaret
Bianca alleges hostesses or managers drugged customers by adding a substance, possibly Rohypnol, to their drinks, leading to disorientation and blackouts. She says she was warned by staff not to consume drinks from specific glasses. Learn more about the dangers of Rohypnol.
Lawsuit against Arizona strip clubs
In the lawsuit, plaintiffs claim they were unknowingly charged exorbitant amounts after agreeing to an initial transaction for VIP room access and private dance. They also allege being isolated from friends upon entering the VIP room. Furthermore, the lawsuit accuses the clubs of causing over a million dollars in charges.
Owner’s response to allegations
Todd Borowsky, owner of Skin Cabaret and Bones Cabaret, has been reportedly unresponsive to Bianca’s concerns about the alleged drugging and robbing of customers. Borowsky’s lawyer, Dennis Wilenchik, denies the allegations and suggests that new competitors could be instigating the situation.
Impact on clients and employees
According to Bianca, some regular clients stopped patronizing Skin Cabaret following these disturbing incidents. This affected both her income and the club’s revenue. Disheartened, Bianca eventually resigned, expressing her distress at the burden caused to customers.
Update on lawsuit
Scottsdale Police have not yet provided updates on the investigation. In the meantime, the plaintiffs are seeking punitive damages, but a trial date is yet to be scheduled. Read more about the lawsuit against the Arizona strip clubs.
