Judge to rule on shop that sold sex toys
Issue date : June 24, 2008
PLAINFIELD A Hendricks Superior Court judge is expected to rule today on an order sought by Plainfield to close a shop selling sex toys and offering live lingerie modeling.
In a court hearing Monday in Danville, attorneys for the Plainfield Plan Commission asked Judge Mark A. Smith for a preliminary injunction to close Hot Temptations, 2316A E. Main St.
The town claims that shop owner Christopher Justin Eads, West Lafayette, ignored a stop-work order issued June 3 by Plainfield Plan Director Joe James.
Adult entertainment businesses in Plainfield are required to get a license from the town, and Hot Temptations has no license.
Eads never asked for a license and doesn't see a need for one now. He testified that he had removed videos, sexual devices and other items for sale cited by James, so Eads claims his shop is not offering adult entertainment.
Town attorneys said even if the objectionable items are removed, Eads still violated the stop-work order by opening the shop.
