Swingers in Florida

An apparent swingers' sex club that has 'outraged' nearby nutters in a Central Florida neighborhood has been ordered to shut down in two weeks.

Groups of people interested in having sex with multiple partners have recently migrated to a large home in Oak Groves, Brevard County.

The home, called The Hunt Club, touts on its Web site group buffet-style dining, group rooms, a stage and dancing pole, swimming pool, and "The Pink Cauldron," a five-person hot tub.

After complaints from nutters prompted police to investigate the home, the city issued the Hunt Club a cease and desist letter.

The city determined the house is being used as a business in a residential neighborhood -- which is against city code.

Richard Spaulding, who lives in the controversial house, said he is doing nothing wrong and his neighbors are making a fuss over nothing: We are not doing anything illegal and we are just having a party, that is it. Chances are because of them and all of the attention they brought on us, we won't probably be able to do (this) much longer or any longer.

Hillsborough County sheriff's detectives say they shut down a swingers club in a Seffner rental house and arrested four people.

Complaints from neighbors about the home resulted in a six-week investigation by police and the state Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco.

Neighbors said cars would turn up their dead-end street on weekend evenings and head directly for the very end, pulling into the 150-foot driveway lit with tiki torches behind the white picket fence and gate. The unassuming two-story white house has red trim and sits well off a street lined with single-story ranch homes.

Inside, policemen found three bedrooms lined wall to wall with beds. The living room was equipped with a dancing pole, a spanking table and large-screen televisions playing pornographic movies.

Four people have been charged with operating a sexually oriented business without a license and operating a bottle club without proper zoning and licensing. All four were released on bail.

Policemen said they witnessed various numbers of people inside the house and saw as many as 50 people inside at one time. Couples were allowed into the club free, and single men and women were charged various fees to enter. Anyone entering was allowed to bring their own bottle of alcohol and could share with others.
