"There’s drugs involved. There’s minors. My daughter is only 16,and his daughter is 16, so we had no idea this man would be capable of bringing his own daughter there,” she told the station. 

The mother alerted police, and her daughter told Hialeah PD that Arguelles had taken the girls there several times and that she had seen Arguelles give his daughter drugs and alcohol on several occasions.

Arguelles was arrested Tuesday on charges of child neglect, allowing a child under 18 to do cocaine and smoke marijuana, and eight counts of sexual performance by a child to promote sex. He's being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $45,000 bond. Arguelles' attorney, however, tells the Miami Herald that he doesn't believe the charges of promoting sexual performances by a child will stick because all his client did was allow the girls to dance on a stripper pole.
