Man sues over strip club dental injuries

An Indianapolis man is suing a strip club after he said he was injured at the business. Jake Quagliaroli, 34, was watching a performance at PT's Showclub in Lawrence in early February when he was hit in the mouth by a shoe that flew off a dancer's foot. "He was hit by a stiletto with a very solid heel. When he was hit, he was bleeding from the mouth," said Jonathan Little, Quagliaroli's attorney.

Little said his client had no way to prepare for what turned out to be an embarrassing and expensive trip to a strip club. The dancer's shoe allegedly came off, during a pole dance, striking Quagliaroli in the face as he turned toward the dance stage after getting money from an ATM, Little said.



"He has quite a significant amount of dental work that needs to be done," said Little. "He has veneers right now and he's possibly going to need a root canal. His dentist said the treatment he has right now is a temporary fix." Little admits Quagliaroli is embarrassed by what happened but at the same time calls the incident "battery and negligence."

"We're asking that my client be made whole and that his dental bills be taken care of by PT's," Little said. Little said he just wants justice for the unintended shoe launch that left his client with dental damage that allegedly will lead to ongoing dental surgeries.
