@MANTIS : grabbing the shirt is absolutely central to the whole issue. if she doesn't grab the shirt there can be no doubt that Dan B and likely Hustler too are liable.
I agree it's relevant if the hooker is just randomly mincing about as a friend/companion. Millionaires do get strippers to just mince about the pool all day don't they? God knows I would.
Much different if she's deemed an employee cos the onus is then on the employer to anticipate risk on her behalf. In the eyes of the law she isn't responsible for assessing what could go wrong. She also isn't responsible for controlling instinctive reactions unless she's had specific training to resist them. Really it's important in this case to know whether the stripper is just a mincing friend or a paid employee.
@Adam, I mentioned models/strippers/hookers and you mentioned why treat them like 2nd class citizens or something like that? Just to clarify models/strippers/hookers are pretty much my favourite kind of people and I think they are great.
