A new lawsuit alleges sexual abuse and human trafficking at a strip club in Tampa, Florida, ABC News reported Wednesday.

The lawsuit brought by a teen girl, described as "developmentally disabled" and "emotionally disturbed," alleges the strip club sent her on a path of abuse, exploitation, and prostitution after she was brought there by a "male acquaintance."

"Enabling and profiting from the sexual abuse of a developmentally disabled teenage girl is deplorable even by the standards of the adult entertainment industry," Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll attorney Michael Dolce claimed, per the report.

The lawsuit alleges Scores did not confirm her age or identity, before employing her illegally for several days, according ABC News.

The teen was 17 at the time, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

While employed, she was left to perform sex acts and encouraged to take illegal drugs to condition her to perform, the lawsuit alleged, per the report.

The strip club chain, which has most than 10 locations nationwide, declined to comment to ABC News.
