Indeed, the charges have now been dropped.
Sounds like rogue pro-Trump cops with too much time on their hands.

On Thursday afternoon, Avenatti announced on Twitter that prosecutors had dropped the charges against his client. Prosecutors said they did not have probable cause to pursue the case, according to court documents posted by the attorney.

Edit:
I'd be interested to know whether they regularly send undercover cops to these clubs to see if they can "sting" a dancer for rubbing her breasts on their faces, or whether they were there specifically because Daniels would be there.
One seems much more likely than the other in light of the prosecutors' statement about why the charges were dismissed: Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein said in a statement to The Post that prosecutors looked at the charges against Daniels and “I’ve determined that these crimes were not committed, based on the fact that Ms. Clifford has not made regular appearances at this establishment as required under the law. We’ll do the same inquiry for the other defendants involved, as well. My office was not involved in this sting operation, so any additional questions about it must be directed to the Columbus Division of Police. The charges have been dismissed.”
(And no, don't try to tell me the undercover cops didn't know what the specific law they were there to investigate violations of requires).

It could have long term corrosion on Trump outside his core base.
