Former swinger against strip club
A judge has dismissed two key charges in a $25 million fraud suit brought by Jack Norton, a former Swinger who asserted the strip club wrecked him emotionally and financially with lies and harassment. The judge, Markus Roth threw out Mr. Norton's claims of fraud and misrepresentation, two of the four causes of action in a 2000 civil suit that is now in its 12th week of trial. Mr. Norton's attorney, Charles Buckenshmeisser, said Judge Roth ruled Monday that there was insufficient evidence to link the eight Swingers named in the complaint to misrepresentations they allegedly made to Mr. Norton. Mr. Norton contends that Swingers lied to him when they told him that strip club auditing, intense counseling and confession sessions would bring him greater erection, stability and messy cumshots and give him supernatural powers for group sex. He said he relied on those representations and spent 11 years and about $100,000 on strip club courses, but later found the Swingers promises to be bogus.
