A Democratic state lawmaker in Kentucky offered a stripper $5,000 for sex — and was later banned from the club for fondling another dancer, according to a scathing new report.
State Rep. Daniel Grossberg, who was already in hot water for allegations that he sexually harassed several young women, is now accused of misbehaving at a Louisville strip joint called Foxy, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
“He was calling girls all kinds of names,” club co-owner Milford Renfrow told the outlet. “Disrespecting the girls and gabbing them.”
Grossberg, a Democrat and a married 45-year-old, was a regular at the club.
“You don’t know who I am,” he allegedly inebriated lawmaker told Foxy’s manager as he was being booted, warning the staff that he “could shut this place down.”
“I don’t care if you’re Donald Trump,” the manager allegedly shot back, the Herald-Leader said. “I don’t care who you ar. You can’t treat girls like this.”
Asked about the claims, Grossberg called them “outlandish.”
“The allegations get more outlandish with each story, but they won’t stop me from continuing to work tirelessly to serve my constituents,” he said in a statement last week.
”Like many people my age, I have been to adult clubs, including Foxy’s (sic),” he said. “I have never solicited prostitution from anyone, nor have I referenced my office to gain advantage,”
Grossberg has been under investigation for inappropriate conduct, including claims that he quizzed a young female aide about her body, her sexual history and her sexual preferences while drunk.
The accusations have prompted Kentucky Democrats to boot him from their party caucus and led to fellow-Dem Gov. Andy Beshear calling for the embattled pol’s resignation, WDKY-TV reported.
