Can a stripper claim sexual harassment?

I'm curious if you have a profession that is based on a certain assumption, do you forfiet your right to some legal liability? In this case, can a stripper sue someone for sexually harassing them? I mean, isn't their job description to be sexually harassed?

Of course thier pay increases normally by how close they come to violaton of rules in many places, and yes it is harrassment and it is sexual, just not the type protected against in workplace laws. And normally the stripper is the one that sets how far the customer can go.

But most strippers at the better clubs are employees and they have to share a part of thier tips with the management.

But I personally knew several very well and knew alot from a college that worked at them, even a couple that were in school to be nurses.

But I would guess this does not go on their resume, unless they put down waitress or hostess. Back in the day ( this was 20 years or so) I worked for companies that sold and made some of the clothing that they would use ( at least in the start of thier act) and made alot of the garters used in several well known bars, We even made some of the playboy bunny outfits and items they sold in thier clubs.

In that we often put on fashion shows and hired many of the ladies to model in our shows. So I got to know alot of them from working around and dealing with thier products and the such. * This is part of my early life I seldom mention online. But of course there are alot of things in some of the clubs, but for many the girls were actually fairly nice and would never sleep with any customers, ( and actually many were actually lesbians , but not all fo course) it was the first time I ever saw two ladies kiss.

And of course years latter I had to deal with some that were not nice and crossed all sorts of laws and some had organised crime connections.

Thats a pretty intense history Chuck. I've only ever been to 2 clubs, both with my brother, and both in celebration of his graduating college, and both were located in Arizona (where my brother lived).

My history has very little to do women and drugs, unless you count lab techs and the anti-biotics used on a daily basis for research purposes. My history is nothing but off road racing, drag racing, and science. Thats probably why I see everything in terms of black and white.

As for the stripper laws, I still don't think it's right for them to entice someone into a situation where they can be sued for sexual harassment. I think it borders entrapment and could potentially be used for blackmail and other sub-par activities. They should give up that right when they take the stage. I think their accountability should be considered in court, if there ever was a case.

In my Universe, a stripper's only defense against sexual harassment is a bouncer. I think if a girl doesn't want to be sexually harassed, she should find a different profession.
