The event, organized by a group called the Presidents Club, raised money for charities through an auction whose lots included tea with Bank of England Governor Mark Carney and lunch with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. Representatives for both denied knowledge of the prizes.

One lot offered a strip club trip with the first lap dance for free, a glass of champagne and a smoked salmon bagel. Another provided a chance for plastic surgery at a private clinic, with the promise to “take years off your life or add spice to your wife.”

As senior politicians expressed outrage, repercussions were swift. The Presidents Club announced Wednesday that it would shut down after distributing its remaining funds to children’s charities, and “will not host any further fundraising events.”

One of the club’s three trustees, David Meller, resigned as an adviser to Britain’s Department for Education. Meller is joint chairman of the Meller Group, which supplies jewelry, beauty products and housewares to British shops.

Labour Party lawmaker Jess Phillips, who brought the issue to the House of Commons, welcomed news that Meller was standing down.

“What happened is that women were bought as bait for men who were rich men, not a mile from where we stand, as if that is an acceptable behaviour,” she told lawmakers. “It is totally unacceptable.”

The fury comes at a time of reckoning for many men in positions of power as women speak out about sexual misconduct following the scandal surrounding Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Women rallied on three continents over the weekend to demand equality and to mark the anniversary of the inauguration of President Donald Trump, whose election in 2016 sparked the first wave of mass protests by women.
