Municipal judge holds off on Duncanville sex club ruling
On Thursday, a municipal court judge held off on deciding whether or not the city of Duncanville has violated the U.S. Constitution with its ordinance banning sex clubs within the city.
Back in May, the city felt compelled to issue the ordinance when it became apparent a particular residence was operating as a place for swingers.
The attorney representing the Cherry Pitt, Mr. Edward Klein has said the city shouldn’t regulate private activities in a private home. The city counters, and says in its original ordinance, that the Cherry Pit crosses the line from public to private by advertising itself online (link above).
Also, they say it's a "public nusiance."
The municipal judge, Judge Kent Trayler, could issue his decision as early as July 8th.
