legendary Bay City Rollers pleads guilty to child porn. And Chicago police raid an alleged hotel sex party. This is just some of what's made sex news the past few days…
SAN FRANCISCO - Performance art student Jonathan Yegge was told to drop his performance art class at the San Francisco Art Institute, seek counseling, test for AIDS, and share the test results with his partners. This ordered by the Institute following a mild uproar over "Art Piece No. 1," performed Jan. 25, involving Yegge engaging unprotected oral sex and trading excrement with a bound and gagged classmate. Yegge, claiming his work was exploring master-slave dialectic according to Hegel and free thought and action according to Kant, withdrew from the Institute entirely Mar. 1, but he says he would return if asked to do so.
EDINBURGH - The founding drummer of the Bay City Rollers pleaded guilty Mar. 3 to possessing child pornography. A police tip led to a raid at Derek Longmuir's apartment which turned up indecent photographs and videos of children. Longmuir claims the material belonged to an American friend and that he had neither looked at it nor had any interest in porn. Longmuir's plea came weeks after a fellow 1970s pop star, British glam-rocker Gary Glitter, finished serving two months for possessing hard-core child porn. Another former Roller, Ian Mitchell, is said to have acted in a porn film.
CHICAGO - A sex party said to have been thrown by two women at the Hyatt Regency here was raided by police Mar. 2, with 28 arrests. The raid was kicked off by an anonymous tip, with one undercover officer going into a Regency suite, paying a $100 entrance fee for drinks and a lap dance. The officer was asked by several women, reportedly, if he wanted sex. Vice officers raided the room, arrested nine women and nineteen men, and confiscated condoms and cash. A hotel spokeswoman told the Chicago Sun-Times the hotel respects guests' privacy but acts at once if aware of illegal activity. Charges involve prostitution and patronizing prostitutes.
