The police executed a search warrant at the Triple C Baths in connection to their on-going investigation of former Arapahoe County Sheriff Pat Sullivan.
Sullivan was arrested for allegedly exchanging meth for sex with men. One of those alleged men, Sean Moss, used to work at the Triple C. Several patrons of the bathhouse have come forward claiming Sullivan was a regular at the Triple C. Later on Sullivan recommended Moss for a job as a security guard for the Cherry Creek School District. Moss died earlier this year with methamphetamine and date rape drug in his system.
The owner of the Triple C said the search was related to the Sullivan case as investigators were looking for records about Sullivan and any surveillance video that may exist. Unfortunately for the police surveillance is only monitored and not recorded at the Triple C.

One could only imagine what went through Nureyev’s mind when he was told of the skit idea. See for yourself at the video below.

Fassbender tells Time Out Chicago about shooting the gay bathhouse scene.
It doesn’t become about homosexuality or heterosexuality, it becomes about a fix, and where can I get my fix? People think, Wow, this is his descent into hell, and it’s not the case. I mean, we shot in a real club. That is a real scenario for many addicts that are predominantly heterosexual and they end up with a guy. You put yourself into a scenario that you wouldn’t do in a normal situation because your choice is gone.

After a customer complained to PinkPaper.com, Adam Bailey, owner of Brighton Sauna, was asked about CCTV at Brighton. Baily replied that he was just complying with UK law.

We had our annual licensing inspection yesterday, coincidentally, and they looked at the whole system, and were 100% satisfied with it, and how it is set up, and where.”
