Two people have been arrested after they allegedly took a 14-year-old boy to a strip club in Jacksonville, Florida, and posted footage of the child online.
Ricky Clark and Aylin Poorhamzeh were arrested in late January and early February after they were accused of taking the child to Passions Gentlemen’s Club in Jacksonville back in April 2025 without the knowledge of the minor’s parents, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a statement on Tuesday, February 10.
The office explained that the Special Assault Unit detectives launched an investigation into the matter after they were sent a social media video that showed the 14-year-old at the strip joint.
“Through our 7-month investigation, we determined Clark brought the 14-year-old to the club in April 2025 without the teenager’s parents’ knowledge,” the department explained. “While at the club, Clark’s friend, Poorhamzeh, provides the teenager with multiple alcoholic drinks. Multiple witnesses our detectives interviewed reported seeing the teenager heavily intoxicated that evening.”

The “detectives never gave up” when it came to the case.
“They continued to comb through evidence and speak to witnesses to build up a case against Clark and Poorhamzeh. On Saturday, January 24, 2026, our Community Problem Response Unit officers arrested Clark for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor, a misdemeanor,” the post continued.
One week later, Poorhamzeh, 23, turned herself in on February 2 after a warrant was issued for her arrest on charges of child abuse, a felony and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
“We do not take crimes against children and teenagers lightly,” the sheriff’s office concluded in the post. “If you are going to corrupt the next generation, be prepared to face the consequences of your actions.”
Both Clark, 36, and Poorhamzeh have been released on bond as of Wednesday, February 11, according to online records viewed by Us Weekly.
It is not currently clear if either Clark or Poorhamzeh entered pleas or retained legal representation following their arrests.

Footage of the incident previously went viral on social media, which showed the teenager being danced on by barely clothed women inside of the strip club. It is not currently clear how Clark and Poorhamzeh know the teenager.
After clips of the incident went viral, the child reportedly told police that Poorhamzeh offered him multiple drinks inside the club, according to First Coast News. Poorhamzeh also allegedly gave the teenager cash to throw at the dancers.
The child told police that he got sick and ended up throwing up in a car. Meanwhile, witnesses claimed that he appeared to be “in and out” of consciousness after he left the strip club.
After the police department confirmed the arrests on Facebook, several social media users took to the comments section to weigh in on the crime.
“To all the people saying, ‘No big deal, I was in clubs when I was her age,’ I just wish someone had been brave enough/cared enough to pull you out of those situations,” one person wrote. “Just because you endured stuff that was too old for you, doesn’t mean the next generations should. Let’s stop the cycles of abuse and let kids be kids.”
