JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 36-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were recently arrested after they brought a 14-year-old to a strip club and gave them “multiple alcoholic drinks,” according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
The agency said that its Special Assault Unit detectives launched the investigation after receiving a social media video showing the teenager inside the club, located on Beach Boulevard.

The video prompted a seven-month investigation, which police say revealed that the man brought the minor to the club in April 2025 without the knowledge of the teenager’s parents.
Police said that, while at the club, the 23-year-old woman who was arrested is believed to have provided the teenager with multiple alcoholic drinks.
Several witnesses reported seeing the teenager heavily intoxicated that evening, JSO added.
Detectives continued gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses to build a case against the man and woman, and on Saturday, Jan. 24, the police arrested the man on a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Police say the woman turned herself in on Feb. 2, and faces charges of child abuse, a felony, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
“We do not take crimes against children and teenagers lightly. If you are going to corrupt the next generation, be prepared to face the consequences of your actions,” JSO said.
The investigation remains ongoing.
