Pornstar Stormy Daniels was arrested during a strip club performance in Ohio on Wednesday, according to her lawyer.
Creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti said his client was arrested in Columbus Ohio for “allegedly allowing a customer to touch her while on stage in a non-sexual manner.”
Avenatti claims Stormy’s act was the same she has performed at nearly 100 strip clubs across the nation.
She was appearing at a club called Sirens.
Avenatti reckons the arrest politically motivated.
Just rcvd 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

An Ohio law known as the Community Defense Act prohibits anyone who isn’t a family member to touch a nude or semi-nude dancer.
“The officers also observed Ms. Clifford fondling the breasts of female patrons,” Franklin County Municipal Court records show.
Avenatti said he expects her to be released on bail shortly and she will be charged with a misdemeanor for allowing touching.
