ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) - An exotic dancer says she was raped early Saturday morning by a client at the TD's North Strip Club on Eubank near Menaul in Albuquerque.
"While performing services with a client she reported that the client did rape her," Albuquerque Police Sargent Ferris Simmons explained.
Police declined to elaborate further, but News 13 has learned the client was a regular at the club and the dancer says she was giving him a lap dance when he raped her.
Authorities say for some reason the man became very aggressive with the dancer.
She called to report the alleged rape just after 2 a.m. Then she was taken to the Lovelace Women's Hospital where she was examined and where she also told doctors what happened.
"The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner does complete those exams and as soon as they're available the investigation will be able to move forward," Sgt. Simmons said.
TD's declined to comment on the incident.
Police have not named the suspect, and he has yet to be arrested.


This sucks, she'll probably never dance again. What I don't get is, how does this happen without a bouncer rushing in and beating the stuffing out of the dude?
