In nude strip clubs in California girls can go over the ledge and touch customers. Girls can also touch paterons while doing lap dances. Guys aren't supposed to grope but that is up to the girl if she allows it.
Topless strip clubs (clubs with alcohol) girls aren't supposed to go over the ledge on the stage, though they try. Once they are topless on stage they have to be at least 6 feet away from the customer. During lap dances same rules apply as nude clubs but bikini dances instead of topless or nude dances. One foot needs to be on the floor at all times.
Now those are the rules. I can tell you that a whole lot of girls try to break them. I can assume that girls in Ohio strip clubs try to break the rules also. This just sounds like a sting operation to catch Stormy.
