The New York City Sheriff’s Office shut down a prohibited swingers club in the borough of Queens at around 12: 05 a.m. on Sunday morning with more than 80 individuals in participation. After receiving a 311 grievance, authorities reached the scene in Queens’ Astoria neighborhood to discover attendees drinking in close proximity and without sticking to the social distancing standards.
Organizers of the occasion, hosted by Caligula New York, violated Governor Andrew Cuomo‘s emergency COVID-19 order and failed to produce a liquor license. Deputy sheriffs charged a minimum of two organizers and one patron with several misdemeanors in the bust.

Citing the reports, Cuomo on Sunday required an examination into the alleged occasion. “If that happened, it was a blatant neglect of the law,” the guv stated at a press rundown. “It’s unlawful. It was likewise disrespectful of the people of New york city.”
