DETROIT (WXYZ) – Detroit Police say they have arrested the manager of the Allstars Topless bar for employing a 14-year-old girl as a topless dancer.

Andrew Hutson, 31, was arrested Wednesday at the club and has been arraigned on a 20-year felony charge of child sexually abusive activity.

During a news conference Friday afternoon, officials from Detroit Police and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office told reporters that the Mobile Strike Force unit and the Sex Crimes unit made the bust after being alerted by the child’s mother.

When the mother found out what her daughter was doing, she went to the club, got the teen and called police.

Investigators say the girl danced at the club for two months. She reportedly used fake identification to get hired. She was making around $350 a night, and turned most of that money to the club and for tipping the DJ and other employees.

“It is sickening by itself that this defendant allegedly knowingly allowed a child to dance in his establishment,” said Chief Warren Evans. “But to profit from it is a whole other level of exploitation.”  

Prosecutor Kym Worthy signed the warrant charging Hutson with the felony.

“The facts alleged in this case are truly disturbing because this is exploitation of a young female at the most base level,” says Prosecutor Worthy. “Our youth are not some cheap commodity, to be used and cast aside. We are sending a clear message that if you hire underage women you will face criminal charges.”

Investigators say the 14-year-old girl has known mental issues. Authorities also say the club has been a trouble spot in past.

Chief Evans says he will now try to get the club’s business and liquor license suspended or revoked.

Dancers must be licensed with the city of Detroit in order to perform at a strip club. They must also be 18 years of age.

A police detective and a corrections officer have been charged in connection with the carjacking and rape of a young woman in California.

The circumstances of the case have investigators looking into whether the suspects may be responsible for other sexual attacks in the area.

“We believe it’s a possibility,” Sgt. David McBride of the Ontario Police Department told CNN. “The manner in which the crime was committed, it seemed very unlikely it just happened at the spur of the moment.”

Anthony Nicolas Orban, a five-year veteran of the Westminster Police Department, and prison guard Jeff Thomas Jelinek, are each being held on $1 million bail at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., according to a statement from the Ontario Police Department.

The suspects, who are both 30, allegedly ambushed the woman last Saturday evening as she was walking from her work to her car in the Ontario Mills parking lot.

According to police, Jelinek stood watching, Orban opened the passenger side of the vehicle at the same time the victim entered the car, and at gunpoint told her to drive away. Jelinek remained in the parking lot while Orban forced the woman to head north on the 15 Freeway, police said.

According to investigators, Orban directed the woman to exit the freeway and to park in a commercial complex in Fontana.

“Orban then forced the victim to disrobe and then brutally raped her at gunpoint,” the statement said.

Police said Orban fled the scene but left his gun in the woman’s car.

It is alleged that Jelinek met Orban and drove him back to the Mills Mall parking lot where Olson called his wife and told her he had lost his gun.

Officers from the Ontario police department interviewed Orban and Jelinek about the missing gun and determined that “their statements were inconsistent and somewhat suspicious,” authorities said.

Later that night, the woman reported the rape and identified Orban and Jelinek as the suspects, police said.

Orban was booked for charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, rape and carjacking. He has been relieved of duty pending the outcome of the investigation.

Jelinek has been charged with carjacking and as an accessory to the crime of rape. Jelinek, who is a corrections officer at the Chino Institute for Men, has also been relieved of his duties pending the outcome of the investigation.

The Ontario police department has released their booking photos to determine if there are any other potential victims. “We want to make sure we get the word out to the public,” said Sgt. McBride. “We don’t want to leave any stone unreturned.”

Police in Trenton, New Jersey, on Saturday announced more arrests in the case of a 15-year-old girl who allegedly allowed men to have sex with her and her 7-year-old stepsister for money.

Two men and three boys, ranging in age from 13 to 20, have been charged with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, Trenton Police Director Irving Bradley said at a news conference Saturday evening.

Gregory Joseph Leary, 20, was arrested and charged Thursday. Police announced the arrest and charges against Tiemear Lewis, 19, on Saturday. Both men are from Trenton.

Police also announced charges against the juveniles, ages 13, 14 and 17 on Saturday. Their names are being withheld.

More arrests are expected in the case, authorities said.

Police say they believe as many as seven men and boys paid for sex with the two girls during a party Sunday night.

“We’re not finished because everyone that is responsible is still not arrested,” Trenton Mayor Douglas Palmer said. “The police will not rest until we get every individual who was involved in this,”

Officials say the 15-year-old was baby-sitting her stepsister on the afternoon of March 28 when she encountered two males who invited her to “hang out” with them. She agreed and brought the 7-year-old along to an apartment.

The 15-year-old first agreed to have sex with the men for money, Trenton police Capt. Joseph Juniak said. She then gave the men permission to “touch” the 7-year-old, he said, adding that it’s likely the 15-year-old gave the 7-year-old some of the money she had received
