CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A Texas strip club that hired a seventh-grader as an exotic dancer is now suing the teenager, saying she conned them into employing her.

An attorney for the Cheetah Club in Corpus Christi says managers didn't know the girl was a minor when she exposed her breasts, a violation of state law.

"She came (into the club) with 6-inch stiletto heels and a miniskirt and looked just like a model from a Miss America's contest," attorney Alan Jaffe told the San Antonio Express News.

It turns out the girl had been kidnapped, police say, and forced to work at the club. Leslie Campbell, 48, is accused of snatching the girl from her San Antonio home and taking her to Corpus Christi, where he allegedly sexually assaulted her for a week.

Police say the unidentified girl managed to escape while her captor was taking a shower. She is now reunited with her parents back in San Antonio.

The club's lawsuit also names her parents and the kidnap suspect as co-defendants. The parents, according to the suit, failed to "properly supervise" their daughter.

The suit seeks unspecified damages from the defendants.
