Operator of Home Sex Business Gets Probation
- Share via
A Van Nuys man convicted of running an illegal sexual-encounter business out of his home was sentenced to 36 months probation Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Judge Debre Katz Weintraub also ordered John Lynch to pay at least $2,500 in fines and perform 35 days of community service. Lynch, 50, was convicted Friday on five counts of operating a sexual-encounter business in a residential zone.
Lynch said he accepted cash from dozens of couples who had been invited to his home on weekends to share spouses. A jury found him guilty last week after undercover police officers testified about attending five parties in 2000.
