DETROIT, April 24 (UPI) -- The manager of a topless Detroit bar faces felony charges after a mother found her 14-year-old daughter dancing there, police said.

Andrew Hutson, 31, was arrested at the All Star when the mother called police Wednesday, The Detroit News reported Saturday. He was charged with child sexual abuse activity and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.


The mother said she only learned Wednesday her daughter had been performing at the club for two months. She said she called a friend trying to locate the girl, was told she was at All Star and went to the club.

"She had no shirt on, and she was wearing a stripper outfit," the woman told the News. "I was in shock. I couldn't believe it."

Tim Murphy, a lawyer for the club, said the girl gave her employers identification that showed she was 18 and described her as looking older than her age, something her mother disputes. Murphy said the charge against Hutson is "just nuts."

Police Chief Warren Evans said the club either knew the teen was under 18 or should have known, the Detroit Free Press said. Evans sad he wants to close the club down.
