Nearly 20 alleged victims are suing these clubs and records show there are more people with similar experiences. Left incapacitated, waking up lost and confused about finding several credit card transactions worth tens of thousands of dollars. The total amount of money charged between them easily clears a million dollars. The alleged victims are feeling violated and are stripped of peace of mind.
All three, referred to as "sister clubs," are now at the center of a civil lawsuit. The latest complaint and demand for a jury trial was filed in January.
The complaint accuses ownership of racketeering, conspiracy and several other allegations. There are now nearly 20 plaintiffs in the case, and we spoke to two who want to remain anonymous. Joe says he and his friends were at Bones Cabaret four years ago when he got separated after going to the bathroom.
Joe says he didn't take a drug test, nor did other plaintiffs in the case, but they all say they became incapacitated after entering VIP rooms. The next day, he discovered several charges on multiple credit cards. FOX 10 obtained Scottsdale Police reports specifically linked to the clubs mentioned in the lawsuit. In September , a financial crimes detective says he started seeing many cases reported by alleged victims detailing common factors like VIP rooms, having memory loss, signing and thumbprinting paperwork, photos taken of them, and extremely high credit card charges.
Reports say patrons visited from several different states, telling police they were brought into VIP rooms. Like I said, just had no clue where I was at that point. He admits to only two transactions he agreed to, paying for drinks and a private dance, but after that, Bobby says he authorized nothing else at Skin Cabaret. He said he felt out of sorts mentally and physically for the rest of the night.
