Police house raid uncovers 'fantasyland' of sex toys

Police who raided a five-storey house in Folkestone discovered
a "fantasyland" of kinky sex toys.
Inside they found a room with whips, chains, sex toys and frilly
clothes ... and more than 2,000 condoms.
But a jury at Canterbury Crown Court found that homeowner Lindy
Cruse, 51, was not running a brothel.
Prosecutor Denzil Pugh told how in March this year police
officers raided the £125,000 house and discovered a variety of
bondage equipment.
Cruse, who was described on the court list as 'also known as
Graham', ran a number of businesses – Matrix Enterprises,
Fantasyland, Retro Clothing, an Internet pay-per-view site called
Sissies In Frillies – and also sold American model trains.
She said the monthly subscription site was aimed at "male,
female and cross-dressers".
Cruse said she had placed adverts for Fantasyland in
newspapers.
She denied running her home at Victoria Grove, Folkestone, as a
brothel and a jury acquitted her.
Cruse told the jury: "I found a niche in the market. I am not
classing myself as the norm so I was finding it very difficult to
go originally to indulge in any of my fantasies."
She said she also rented out the rooms for people who wanted to
dress up and get photographed.
"One of the rooms was set up for domination and bondage which
is why it had extra mirrors. The other room was for people who
just wanted to come in and cross-dress.
"If I am working and I am doing things of a sexual nature it's
for my own actual, personal pleasure.
"I don't offer sexual services. Mine is not sexual – as in
having intercourse – but a service for bondage and domination.
"The sexual side of that doesn't actually enter into it."
She said she might join in "if something was there and
particularly turning me on, something just between the two of us
but I am not going to charge for it.
"But we wouldn't offer horrible type of services and I didn't
have prostitution at the house."
