Sex Trial

[shaved]

Not racing....but racey !
A sex shop owner, her husband and the shop manager went on trial yesterday on century-old charges related to the alleged keeping of a disorderly house for sex parties.
Fetish Fashion owner Brenda Scofield, 54, and manager Loretta Mui Shuk-han, 40, each deny one count of keeping a disorderly house and six of aiding and abetting an objectionable performance between March 1 and August 12 last year at the shop. It is the first time the charges have been aired for 20 years.
Scofield's husband, businessman Laurence Richard Scofield, 48, denies one charge of aiding and abetting in keeping the house and six of aiding and abetting an objectionable performance.
He was cleared of one count of obstructing police inspector Yiu Kit-yee as the prosecution offered no evidence.
Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions John Reading, SC, told Western Court yesterday that undercover police officers bought tickets to three sex parties at Fetish Fashion in Cochrane Street, Central.
The first, dubbed "After Office Delight", was scheduled for February but cancelled. Two officers had bought tickets for $1,500 and were told the show was only open to select customers.
Mr Reading said the second show, "Mixed Play", was attended by two undercover officers on March 10.
Their $350 tickets allowed them to be part of a crowd that watched 20 people dressed in fetish wear carrying out various acts of bondage and sadomasochism while pornographic videos played in the background.
Inspector Swalikh Calvin Mohammed told the court that he and a police constable visited the shop on August 8 when Brenda Scofield, also known as Decima, introduced them to bondage, discipline and sadomasochism (BDSM) equipment.
She had repeatedly told them they would be guided on how to use the equipment and no one would force them if they did not wish to use it.
The third show, "Mixed Party", took place on August 11. Inspector Mohammed said six tickets costing $350 each were bought from Mui.
Inspector Mohammed said six undercover officers attended the show and saw participants dressed in fetish wear performing various BDSM activities, including tying each other up with ropes, whipping and dripping hot wax. Laurence Scofield was one of the participants, the court heard.
At 1.05am, police officers raided the premises and arrested 26 people, including a barrister, an accountant, a businesswoman, somebody known as Cheesebeast and three female performers, who were released without charge.

somebody known as Cheesebeast and three female performers.
my god that man gets around. did the four of them come as a package ??

[masun]

Re those three female performers, who is the 3rd one besides Wanchai Wendy and Poledancer? HH in drag?

[jatz]

There should be a lot more of these places and it should be legal. And why didn't I get an invite?

[cheesebeast]

I was there all right and I can only say my performance was far from objectionable, but what some people wanted me to do with some fresh brie can not really be aired on this forum. Saw Ivan there also!

[wanchai wendy]

I'm pissed at Cheese because he promised me and the other 263 hookers in Wan-chai that he'd only be beaten and bonded by us. Obviously Cheese (the slut) thinks honour is spelt on-her.

[cheesebeast]

Have ya had a look in the mirror lately, Wendy? This wasn't no Wanchai kinda gathering, there were lots of nobs there and they tend to like the young virginal types. :D

This I like - I wish I had a teacher like this.
Pimps subtracted from maths test
15 June 2002
WINNIPEG: A Canadian teacher has been suspended after shocking a small northern Manitoba school by distributing a maths exam that included questions about pimps, prostitutes, machine guns, cocaine trafficking and getting "knocked up."
The math proficiency test included questions such as: "Rufus is a pimp for three girls. If the price is $65 per trick, how many tricks per day must each girl turn to support Rufus' $800 per day crack habit?"
And then there was the trouble with Hector.
"Hector knocked up three girls in his gang. There are 27 girls in his gang. What is the exact percentage of the girls in the gang that Hector knocked up?"
Parents of the 13-year-old and 14-year old students who attend Juniper School in Thompson, Manitoba, said they were outraged.
And the province's minister of education, Drew Caldwell, said he was "disturbed."
The exam, which asked students for their name, gang name and home room, was fast becoming the talk of this nickel-mining community of 15,000 people 800 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
Supplied with the exact speed of travel and the number of seconds it takes to load a shot gun, another test question asked students to calculate the distance, Billie, a skateboard thief, would be able to flee before getting "whacked."
Newspaper reports said that board members at the Mystery Lake School District stripped the veteran teacher of her classroom duties at a meeting earlier this week. She was also suspended without pay for three days.
The test appeared to be modelled after an exam called "The City of Los Angeles High School Maths Proficiency Exam," found on an Internet joke site.

Re those three female performers, who is the 3rd one besides Wanchai Wendy and Poledancer? HH in drag?
How did you know that was me? I was the one tied up to the rack and up to my neck in hot wax. Which was unfortunate because when the place was raided I couldnt move. Wan Cai Wendy left me stranded...and she was the one with the keys. It took them 2 hours with cigarette lighters and a hair dryer to free me. confused.gif

Getting back to what transpired at Cochran St, I actually spotted Ken Martinus walking into the place on the night in question.
He was walking with his usual limp, but it soon dissappeared once he got inside. :rolleyes:

Three defendants acquitted of charges in Fetish Fashion trial --- Updated at 7.18pm:
A sex shop owner, her husband and the shop manager on Monday were cleared of keeping a disorderly house and managing an objectionable performance.
The acquittals came after a lengthy trial into bondage and sado-masochism parties held at the Fetish Fashion shop in Central which were infiltrated by undercover police officers last year.
Fetish Fashion owner Brenda Scofield, 54, and manager Loretta Mui Shuk-han, 40, were cleared of one count each of disorderly house and six charges of managing an objectionable performance in the shop between March 1 and August 12 last year.
Scofield's husband, businessman Laurence Richard Scofield, 48, was acquitted of one count of aiding and abetting a disorderly house and six charges of aiding and abetting an objectionable performance.
Brenda Scofield said outside court she was ''incredibly relieved'' at the verdict from Western Court magistrate Allan Wyeth and said the case should never have been brought.
A hearing will be held in October to decide who will pay the costs of the case, estimated to run to around $4 million.

[jb]

Glad to see they got off for just having some fun...court costs of 4 million is a big ask though ?

[boner]

Ivan will pay Ken's share. Ken's limp didn't disappear, it just levelled up when he went inside and prodcured a temporary limp on the other leg.

[richardcranium]

What about all that trouble the copper went to and for no result.
They say that spanking he got has scarred him for life.

Tuesday, August 20, 2002 Court acquits Fetish Fashion trio PATRICK POON
The owner of the Fetish Fashion sex shop in Central, her husband and the shop's manager were yesterday acquitted of the centuries-old charge of keeping a disorderly house after a month-long trial that cost an estimated $4 million.
Brenda Scofield, 55, and Loretta Mui Shuk-han, 40, were each cleared in Western Court of one joint charge of keeping a disorderly house. Laurence Scofield, 48, was cleared of one count of aiding and abetting the alleged offence.
Mrs Scofield and Ms Mui were also cleared of six joint charges of managing an objectionable performance, while Mr Scofield was acquitted of six charges of aiding and abetting an objectionable performance.
The charges stemmed from parties that took place at the Cochrane Street shop between March and August last year. At least six undercover policemen infiltrated two of the parties. One of them told the court he agreed to be tied up on a wooden saddle and have his backside whipped and scratched.
Police raided the shop on August 12 last year and arrested 26 people, including a barrister, an engineer, an accountant and a businesswoman. All were later released without charge.
Magistrate Allan Wyeth said yesterday: "I'm satisfied that, as shown in the defence's evidence, most activities by the participants indicated they were consenting with each other in taking part in the BDSM role playing . . . and no bodily harm was ever caused."
He said the prosecution failed to prove three criteria established in an English case that would constitute the offence of keeping a disorderly house. Firstly, Mr Wyeth said, the parties were not open to the public. Secondly, he accepted the defendants had no knowledge of alleged indecent activities.
Thirdly, the prosecution failed to prove that the defendants had been "keeping the house" from March to August. The evidence only applied to activities on two days.
He also felt some unease in accepting the testimonies of the six undercover police officers, saying their views may have been "unconsciously coloured and affected" by a report about the shop in Eastweek magazine.
Barrister Graham Harris said the defence would ask the prosecution to pay the costs, about $3 million, and a hearing would be held on October 4. It is estimated that prosecution costs will run to about $1 million.
Outside court, Mrs Scofield said: "I'm incredibly relieved and very happy that common sense has prevailed . . . The right outcome has come about. I'm glad that people are allowed to get on in private with what they enjoy."
She said she would keep running the shop to teach people to practise BDSM safely.
[b]Tuesday, August 20, 2002 Trio faced charges based on 1751 law PATRICK POON
The offence of keeping a disorderly house laid against the three defendants is believed to be the first documented case of bondage and sadomasochism practitioners being prosecuted under such a charge.
The charge originates from the Disorderly House Act, introduced in Britain in 1751, and has been most commonly used in relation to striptease performances.
For a successful prosecution under the Act it must be proved that the activities "amounted to an outrage of public decency; or tended to corrupt or deprave; or was calculated to injure the public interest so as to call for condemnation and punishment".
One barrister not involved in the case said: "Not everybody would agree that these people are bad people who would injure public interest and whose activities call for condemnation."
The charges of keeping and aiding and abetting a disorderly house are common law offences and punishable up to seven years in jail and an unspecified fine.
There have only been two previous charges of keeping a disorderly house in Hong Kong.
In 1976, six members of the Hong Kong Artists' Club were arrested at the club in the basement of Champagne Court, Kimberley Road, Kowloon, for organising and taking part in striptease shows.
All six were charged with either keeping a disorderly house or aiding and abetting in keeping the house and fined up to $4,000.
In the other case, in August 1980, the manager of Sum Sum Association in Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, was arrested during a police raid for staging striptease shows. He was fined for keeping a disorderly house. However, a year later his conviction was quashed on appeal due to incorrect wording of the charge.

What do XXX cinemas and churches have in common?
According to an Apple Daily report today, an XXX cinema in Shek Kip Mei will be sold to a church for $16 million later this month. Including the pending transaction, since 1996, 7 XXX cinemas have been converted to churches.
According to a property manager, cinemas have high ceilings, few pillars, the screens and auditoriums can easily be converted to an altar and hence very suitable for churches. Moreover, cinemas are usually located in densely populated areas, easily accessible, have numerous exits and well equipped with fire prevention facilites.
So the next time you go to your favourite cinema expecting to see Adam and Eve in action, don't be too surpised that if you find a priest talking about Adam and Eve instead.
In case anyone is wondering, the sex maniacs have not disappeared from HK all of a sudden. It's just that XXX VCD's are now easily available in HK and few people bother to go to the cinemas to watch the movies anymore.

Not only that, it means the priests don't have to break in the furniture and the altar boys at the same time!
