Suit says party goer injured at strip club
By Sara Eaton
The Journal Gazette
A Fort Wayne man alleges that dancers at a local adult entertainment club caused severe injuries while dancing with him during his bachelor party, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Allen Superior Court.
Justin Scheidt went to Showgirl III, 930 Coliseum Blvd. E., in the early-morning hours of his wedding day last June as a continuation of his bachelor party that started the night before, the lawsuit said.
His friends paid $40 for the female entertainers to get Scheidt on the main stage and dance, the lawsuit said. After Scheidt climbed onto the stage, female entertainers told him to lie on his back and straddle a pole.
Two of the dancers held Scheidt's arms down as a third climbed up the pole about six feet and then, "let herself free fall down the pole," the lawsuit said. She landed, "squarely on his genitals causing him excruciating pain," according to the lawsuit.
Scheidt told the dancers to stop but they refused and proceeded to take turns climbing the pole and falling on him in a similar fashion, the lawsuit said. None of the dancers was identified in the lawsuit.
While on his honeymoon, Scheidt was unable to consummate his marriage because of "serious and permanent injuries" he sustained from the dancers falling on him, the suit said. He also suffered "mental and emotional distress" and incurred medical expenses.
Scheidt is seeking unspecified damages for the dancers' actions from Showgirl III Inc. The owner of Showgirl III, Bub Butler, said he was not aware of the lawsuit and declined to comment Thursday.
Attempts to reach Scheidt or his attorney Thursday were not successful.

Neomaine,
I was going to be a good netizen and chastise you for not being a little more specific in your title.
Wow!!! Forget it. Entirely appropriate.
