Aberdeen City Council regulates adult entertainment venues as part of its licensing obligations.
Often such venues are required to keep a register of performers, including their name, address, date and place of birth and nationality, which must be made available on inspection to the council and police.
It is understood the council’s licensing team has not been made aware of the alleged incident as yet.
Members of the local authority’s licensing committee can impose restrictions on venues where incidents happen to protect staff and customers.
