INDIANAPOLIS -- The city of Indianapolis is asking a court to shut down what it calls a house-based sexual torture business, saying it violates zoning regulations. The city on Wednesday filed a court complaint against Melyssa Donaghy, alleging that she is illegally operating a business in her home, located in the 4100 block of Central Avenue. Should have called it a church and yourself as High Priestess | "We have evidence of sexual torture and masochistic activity going on in that residence and on that property," said Justin Ohlemiller, of Indianapolis' Department of Metropolitan Development. Authorities say an undercover Indianapolis police officer went to the home in September. He reported being forced to get down on his hands and knees and kiss Donaghy's boots and feet. "It was just like going before the promotion board!" | The officer also said he witnessed the use of spurs, whips, chains and clamping devices, and that he was subjected to degrading conversation, RTV6's Jack Rinehart reported. Had Air America playing, huh? |
Doesn't that mandate a referral to the City Mental Health Board? | According to her Web site, Donaghy, also known as Mistress Ann, practices domination and submission arts in the basement of her home. Donaghy issued a statement saying her practice includes domestic training "while encouraging and practicing sexual responsibility and chastity." "Don't think of it as a leather suit, it's a really big condom. With studs." | In addition to seeking an end to the business, the city wants Donaghy to pay a fine. Wonder if they'd take a percentage of the cut? | People in Donaghy's neighborhood have expressed concerns about the business's proximity to a Catholic grade school and a public library, Rinehart reported. |
