Lodi Stripper Charged With Kidnapping Client

LODI (CBS13) ― A strip club performer from Lodi is accused of kidnapping a client for money. Nicole Blank has pleaded innocent to felony kidnapping and robbery charges and is being held on $100,000 bail.

Blank reportedly met the victim at an adult bookstore and strip club in Lodi, where she worked as a live dancer. In January, they made plans to go on a gambling trip together, and Blank allegedly picked up the victim at his residence in rural San Joaquin County.

As they were traveling, Blank allegedly pulled over suddenly, claiming she needed to call her kids, but two men armed with shotguns emerged from a nearby vineyard. Fearing for his life, the victim got out of the vehicle and fled.

Authorities later arrested Blank and charged her with felony kidnapping and robbery charges. Investigators suspect that there could be other victims that do not want to be connected publicly to a stripper.
