Miami City Club Is Regrettably Orgy-Free

Hey, I've been to the City Club many times, and have never seen anything like this:

The call girl, who spoke exclusively to CBS4, said that on numerous occasions, women from the prostitution agencies were called to attend late-night parties at The Denver Club, a plush squash and social club located on the top two floors of a downtown skyscraper.

She said the women were paid around $2,000 to have sex with numerous men. Asked who the men were, she said they were "business guys, rich businessmen." She said participants in the parties snorted cocaine and had sex throughout the club.

"People were having sex on the pool table, couches ... in the locker room, in the steam room," she said.

The President of The Denver Club, Peter Marayne, said, "The club would never sanction these kinds of parties, and that's not what the club is for." He said the parties "are a poor characterization of what the club stands for." The Club's Board of Directors said it had "no knowledge" of the parties and "has never sanctioned any such activities and certainly does not condone them."

The club has been a pillar of Denver society and is one of the cities' oldest social clubs. It was founded in 1881. While it has only about 100 current members, mostly interested in playing squash, they are highly placed in business, finance, law and the oil and gas industry. Mayor John Hickenlooper is a member and has been for years. A spokesperson said Hickenlooper plays squash at the club once or twice a week. Beer baron Peter Coors and billionaire Phil Anschutz are also members. None of them were at the parties in question.

For the men who were at the parties the woman described, it was no holds barred. "When people are standing around and there's lots of participants and more than one girl and more than one guy involved in a sexual act and other people are watching, sounds like an orgy to me," she said. "Some guys would watch, some guys would participate, always for a fee."

Maybe in the "private function" rooms, I guess. Or is this part of the reciprocal benefits of club membership they're always talking about?
