Two arrested after allegedly taking 14-year-old to Jacksonville strip club


Authorities have launched an investigation following the emergence of a video on social media that seems to depict a young teenager involved in inappropriate activities at Passions Gentlemen’s Club located on Beach Blvd.

In Jacksonville, Florida, two individuals have been apprehended months after a video surfaced showing a 14-year-old boy being engaged by scantily clad women at a local strip club. The arrests are linked to an incident that allegedly occurred in April 2025.

Ricky Clark, aged 36, and Aylin Poorhamzeh, 23, were taken into custody over the past month after they reportedly brought the teenager to Passions Gentlemen’s Club without his parents’ consent.

According to police interviews, the teenager claimed that Poorhamzeh offered him multiple alcoholic drinks while inside the club and also handed him cash to tip the dancers. The boy recounted that he eventually vomited in a car, and witnesses noted his fluctuating consciousness upon leaving the venue.

Both Clark and Poorhamzeh are facing charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Additionally, Poorhamzeh faces a charge of child abuse.

In a statement shared on social media, the sheriff’s office emphasized their firm stance on such matters, saying, “We do not take crimes against children and teenagers lightly. If you are going to corrupt the next generation, be prepared to face the consequences of your actions.”

First Coast News reached out to Passions Gentleman’s Club and has not immediately heard back.
