How do I find out if a swingers club in my area is operating legally and with the neccessary licensing?
There is a swingers club in my area
that I believe is falsely advertising and
taking membership and door fees as a
legal club when I don’t even believe it
is registered as a sex club. During the
day it operates as a church but it also
shows porn movies on a big screen so
I don’t believe it has a ‘mini adult
theather’ license either.
Please help me I want to sue their ass
off for lying to me and taking my money
promising all the while it was a legal
club

You can check out what, if anything, it is registered for or has a license for at your town/city clerk's office.
However, regardless of the answer, there is no liabilty for "lying" to someone. You can only sue for your actual losses or damages, if any. So if you paid your money and were able to make use of the club, then regardless of whether it is properly registered, you got what you paid for--no lawsuit. And even if you didn't get what you paid for, all you can sue for is what you lost--e.g. your membership fee--which, unless it was a VERY large fee, is unlikely to worth the time, cost, and effort of a lawsuit.
