MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - Club Elements has been closed down a week after an X-rated video filmed inside a private sex party went viral on the web.

A judge granted a temporary injunction to close the Hickory Hill club and Memphis police put a lock and chain on the door Tuesday, July 3.

The order comes after video of a party promoted by the group "Team Taboo" surfaced, showing several public sex acts.

Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich said those who filmed the video or appeared in it could also face charges.

"It is important to remember this is an ongoing investigation, the first step, necessary step, I think the public was crying out for, something to do be done, to show we are responding, and have a remedy under the law," she stated at a Tuesday news conference.

Police say they have responded to 18 calls at the club in the last two years. A court date for the club is set for Monday, July 9.

Talk about a government with misplaced priorities. Cosing a club because people were having sex at a PRIVATE PARTY? Memphis is beyond pathetic. So small time.

"" I think the public was crying out for, something to do be done, to show we are responding...." So the thugs in government have to APPEAR to be doing something - even tho the investigation is ongoing, and NO ONE has been charged. The owner of the club is being punished WITHOUT DUE PROCESS, a clear violation of rights under the so called 'law'. But that is the way government thugs always operate - "We will punish you until you can prove you don't need to be punished." True thugs - the government is the worst gang there is, because the statist worshipping sheeple give them legitimacy while they commit their crimes....
