The producer of a Las Vegas “Stripper 101” class is firing back against his employees’ invasion of privacy lawsuit by putting $1 million on the line to clear his name with a lie-detector challenge.

Five striptease instructors sued David Saxe this week after they found security cameras in the room where they undressed and engaged in what they called “many very personal and private acts.” The teachers alleged that Saxe and his management team were using the cameras to spy on them as they taught tourists how to give lap dances and use a stripper pole.

In a press release Wednesday, Saxe challenged the plaintiffs to take a lie detector test, and offered to pay them $1 million if they are telling the truth.

But if the test shows they are lying, he said, he expects them to pay him $500,000 — which he pledged to donate to a charity that “helps business owners fight extortion and malicious prosecution.”

“Since they like to lie to get money, I figured this would be an even better opportunity for them,” Saxe said.
