DUNCANVILLE — Jim Trulock and Julie M. Norris, owners of the Cherry Pit in Duncanville, are in municipal court this week where a jury will determine whether or not they're guilty of operating a business in a residential neighborhood or operating a sex club without a license.
Those would be Class C misdemeanors but Duncanville police aren't stopping there. The besieged couple is already being accused of everything from engaging in organized criminal activity to violating the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code to prostitution and money laundering to "we're going to keep finding excuses to arrest you until one of them sticks". Despite the fact that, as their lawyer points out, they have no shortage of people interested in attending their swinger parties.
UPDATE: Jurors deliberated for 45 minutes before finding Trulock guilty of all 10 citations. He faces a fine of $7,500. Way to go, Texans.

ScoDo, at the current rate of exchange, that's two pix at 1000 words each and a holographic scar in my psyche. You'll pay.
Oh, you will pay. :::shudder:::

I think it rather hilarious that they are charging these people with running a prostitution ring...if anything it appears that they would be the ones paying for sex..not the other way around.

You know, when your sexual needs require more than vanilla-style missionary, you're gonna have to give a little in order to get what you want.
If you like having sex with animals, you'd better get used to the smell of manure.
If you like having sex with grotesquely obese people, you better be ready to find a long-lost sandwich now and then.
And if you like having sex with more than one person at a time, you have to accept that they're not all going to look like supermodels.

Hotels on the Trinity were established for several reasons after the 1850s, the most important was if you were a single man and you were to cross the Trinity, the last thing you may want and it was not illegal then was some sexual refreshement, before you crossed the river, and AFTER YOU WOULD cross the river .... and maybe you would or would not die,, then again it was hotel refreshment.... well the laws have changed but the partners and desires have not, then again is that part of town near the Trinity, A.T...
