Now, I'm pretty sure that these people are in the paper today because they had no local connections:


Scottish millionaires busted during sex act in Orlando's Roxy club, cops say


Husband and wife millionaires from Scotland face several charges in an August incident that stemmed from a sex act in the bathroom of an Orlando nightclub, police reports state.

A pair of off-duty Orlando officers were working at Roxy night club on Bennett Road about 1:45 a.m. Aug. 13, reports state, when an employee reported three people having sex in a men's room.

One of the officers knocked on a locked stall and identified himself as police. The stall door opened, police say, and the officers found two men and a woman inside, two engaged in a sex act.

Officers would later identify the woman as 43-year-old Mary Gorman. Reports state she was performing a sexual act on an unnamed man as her husband, 44-year-old Chris Gorman, watched.

1. I hope these millionaires make the Orlando Police pay for this BIG TIME.
Who the hell are the police protecting when they sneak around catching consenting adults consenting to have adultery and punishing them for that with arrest, imprisonment, humiliation and needless anxiety? Who was being hurt here? Whose business is it, considering that everybody in that nightclub KNEW it was THAT kind of nightclub?

And what does it say to the Scottish Board of Tourism?

I hate this kind of abuse of police power. I'd love to see the decision-makers behind it severely reprimanded.

Go Millionaire Scottish Perverts!!

2. OK....Why?
Edited on Tue Nov-01-11 01:46 PM by Rebubula
I have been to the Roxy - I did not know it was that kind of club. It is a standard house music, hip hoppy kind of scene.

It is NOT a place for everyone to fuck in the bathroom.

If you want to blow someone - go outside. If you are doing in a public place that is not a sex club - mileage may vary.

Oh....plus drugs....and battery of an officer.

Try and read the whole story...

EDIT


moreover - these were NOT charges of a sexual nature. The other man was let go and the husband was only arrested after he interfered with them arresting his wife for battery on an officer.

4. Well said, Rebubula.
Not to mention that Orlando has a history, which it has worked to clean up. The part of it that I always hated had to with with young girls who became stripdancers for the money. It wasn't the job that was the issue, it was the way that clients tried to pay them with drugs, and how they were encouraged to drink the drinks that the customers paid for them. It lead to obvious lifestyle changes that wasn't in anyone's best interest.
