Stormy Daniels was arrested and charged with three misdemeanor sex offenses after feeling up the “anatomical areas” of undercover cops at an Ohio strip club.

Her lawyer Michael Avenatti broke the news of her arrest early Thursday morning:

Just rcvd word that my client @StormyDaniels was arrested in Columbus Ohio whole performing the same act she has performed across the nation at nearly a hundred strip clubs. This was a setup & politically motivated. It reeks of desperation. We will fight all bogus charges. #Basta — Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) July 12, 2018

“Just received [sic] word that my client Stormy Daniels was arrested in Columbus Ohio while [sic] performing the same act she has performed across the nation at nearly a hundred strip clubs,” Avenatti tweeted. “This was a setup and politically motivated. It reeks of desperation. We will fight all bogus charges.”

He followed up with these tweets detailing her arrest.

She was arrested for allegedly allowing a customer to touch her while on stage in a non sexual manner! Are you kidding me? They are devoting law enforcement resources to sting operations for this? There has to be higher priorities!!! #SetUp #Basta — Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) July 12, 2018

We expect her to be released on bail shortly. We also expect that she will be charged with a misdemeanor for allowing “touching.” We will vehemently contest all charges. #Basta — Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) July 12, 2018

UPDATE: CBS News’ Steve Portnoy had the pleasure of looking over the charging documents, which held the Daniels felt up “female and male officers posing as patrons” in their “specified anatomical area[s]”:

The charging docs obtained by WBNS @10TV allege Stormy Daniels violated Ohio law by touching a “specified anatomical area” of female and male officers posing as patrons, and also touched them with her own “specified anatomical area.” pic.twitter.com/kykV6MlQfG — Steven Portnoy (@stevenportnoy) July 12, 2018
