COLUMBUS, OH. (THECOUNT) — According to a complaint, Stormy Daniels, aka, Stephanie Clifford, groped several customers and at least one female undercover cop while performing at Sirens, a Columbus, OH, gentlemen’s club. The female officer was identified in the report as Mary Praither.
Clifford, 39, was arrested at the club, located, at 6190 Cleveland Ave., after she was accused of touching several patrons and police officers, violating Ohio’s Community Defense Act, which prohibits patrons from touching a nude or semi-nude dancer, or their clothing, in a club, anywhere on the premises or the parking lot.

Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, tweeted that the touching was in a “non sexual” way, however, according to the complaint, Clifford put “both hands on female officer’s buttocks and breasts, as well as placing her breasts in the face of the officer(s).”
At least four Columbus police officers attended Daniels’ performance at Sirens, and an affidavit filed in Franklin County Municipal Court says Daniels touched three of the officers — both men and women — during her performance.source
Clifford was later released from custody after posting bail.
