AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio police say a 52-year-old woman was attacked on her first day as an exotic dancer by a jealous co-worker wielding a stiletto heel.Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards says the woman was assailed Friday night by a co-worker who didn't think the club needed more dancers. Police say one of the dancers took her stiletto and repeatedly struck the woman in the face as she walked into the basement dressing room.
The woman was treated at a hospital and received seven staples. She has declined to press charges against her assailant.
Police say the woman took the job because she needed the extra money. She has refused to talk to police about what happened.
At first I wondered why the victim in this story didn't want to press charges, but then a couple things occurred to me. First, if you're a 52-year-old stripper, your face is probably not your money-maker. A few staples here and there aren't going to hurt your career. Second, if you are working with a lady crazy enough to gouge your face with a shoe, you probably don't want to provoke her anymore than you already have.
