Pa. woman's stripper job leads to fraud charges

[August 05, 2010]  DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- A Pennsylvania woman is accused of illegally accepting workers' compensation payments while working as a stripper.

Forty-three-year-old Christina Gamble waived a preliminary hearing scheduled for Tuesday and will face trial next month.

Prosecutors say the Quakertown woman claimed she hurt her back at her waitressing job and couldn't work. A judge granted her $360 per week in benefits in October 2008.

But private investigators working for the restaurant's insurance company say they taped her dancing at C.R. Fanny's Gentlemen's Club and Sports Bar in Wilson later that year.

Gamble is charged with two counts of workers' compensation fraud and one count of theft. Her phone number is unlisted.
