Duncanville Takes Aim At Swingers Club Again
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
The City of Duncanville has reworked an ordinance aimed at shutting down a swingers club.
The Cherry Pit has been throwing adult-oriented parties inside a private house. The city maintains that the Cherry Pit is a Sex Club, which violates city law.
But the owner of the Cherry Pit claims it's not a business because the house only accepts voluntary donations.
The new ordinance addresses the issue of donations by stating that if donations are solicited, accepted or paid, even if the donations are voluntary, the Cherry Pit can be considered a sex club and can be shut down.
The new ordinance does provide a victory for the swingers club. It now states that the Cherry Pit is entitled to a hearing if the city inspector attempts to shut down the house.
