A 14-year-old girl was placed in protective custody during a raid in which four exotic dancers were arrested by Akron police vice officers.

Police working Operation Spring Cleaning served a search warrant Friday night at the Playhouse, 1700 E. Waterloo Road.

Police Lt. Rick Edwards said officers arrested four dancers for allegedly dancing topless and having contact with customers in a liquor establishment.

He said the club is not licensed as a sexually oriented business.

Vice officers said they saw the 14-year-old dancing topless. She did not have contact with customers.

The girl, whom Edwards said is not cooperating with police, has been placed with Summit County Children Services.

The club's owner, Robert T. Mitchell, 34, of Ravenna, and the bar manager, Christopher Wier, 34, of Ravenna, were charged with illegal use of a minor in a nudity-oriented performance and two counts of child endangering.

I'd ask where this child's parents are but I have a feeling where ever they are they didn't give a damn unless she's a run away.

I wonder where the hell this kid's parents thought she was while she was dancing in this club? For fuck's sake.

Wow... Hopefully these fucks are put away for a long time. How horrible for that girl.

...or maybe both -- they don't give a damn AND she's a runaway. I found it interesting that she's not cooperating. I'm guessing she doesn't want to go back to where ever it is she came from.

How much money is a 14 year old going to make in a strip club anyway? Unless this is some sort of pedo-oriented strip club.

You'd be surprised how much a fourteen year old could look like she is of age. I was a master of it when I was a wee lass.

My granddaughters (both very much underaged) are very well developed. They could dance and I'm sure would make a pile of money. I long for the days when they were very cute little girls. This shit just scared the crap out of me. Someone needs to be paying more attention to what these kids are doing!

The girl COULD be NOT COOPERATING because she's a victim (duh! JGo) & because she is scared of her pimps...

I hope that kid gets LOTS of therapy & a mom & a dad that help her feel better & regain self esteem that's healthy.
