sex clubs and the media

the owner/operator of the Blu Lounge in Arden, NC was basically arrested for allowing sex acts to be performed in the night club in which he owns and since that establishment sells alcohol, he was arrested. what happened with the media may have even trumped what happened in charlotte about a month or so ago. channel 13 news, wlos-tv, had a reporter on the scene with search warrant in hand standing outside in the parking lot of the Blu Lounge night club warning viewers that if they had young children they may want to get them out of the room for the next couple of minutes while he reported this story. he told of the charges levied against the owner, what allegedly transpired inside the club, and then they cut away to the house beside the club that could vaguely be seen through a patch of trees from the parking lot. they interviewed the owners of the house who were playing with their children in the swimming pool. the reporter was trying to illicit some kind of response of outrage from the owners of the house for what was going on next door but i don't remember him reporting that it took place in the parking lot and their children having a front row seat to the "sex show". if it did transpire, it took place inside the club behind closed doors between consenting adults. the reporter promised that he would be reporting from the club with more this weekend. that was sensationalistic journalism at its finest. he didn't illicit the desired response from the owner of the house. she kind of laughed about it. it showed her sitting in her swimming pool. there was alot of kids that didn't need to see that but there was wlos-tv's camera and microphone shoved right in her face. i also heard ALE mentioned so i don't guess it is just the clubs in charlotte. i didn't hear of anyone at the club complaining so it should be a non-issue.
