Church Moves To Evict Adult Store

Two years after buying a Connecticut building that houses an adult video store, a Milford, Connecticut church is moving to evict its tenant, according to a published report.

The Kingdom Life Christian Church bought the building in 2003 in an effort to force Video Pleasures to close, the Associated Press reported. But owner Michael Friend remained in the building by exercising a three- year lease agreement he had with the previous owner, according to the story.

The lease expires in December 2006, but the church isn’t waiting another year, AP reported.

Bishop Jay Ramirez says Friend owes thousands of dollars in back rent, so eviction proceedings are getting started this month, the story said.
