Police break up 'drug-fueled orgy' at Masonic Lodge after finding women dancing naked on stage and men filming sex acts



Police in Michigan have broken up a shocking 'drug-fueled orgy' being hosted at a secretive Masonic Lodge - and this wasn't the first time it's happened, authorities warn.

Officers were called to the prominent building in downtown Battle Creek, Michigan - which sits across a park from police headquarters - about 2.15am Sunday. They found five women dancing on stage naked.

They also reportedly discovered a couple having sex in the lodge and several men standing around filming the action.

Shocking: Police sources told WWMT-TV that officers found two people having sex and naked women dancing on stage at the Masonic Lodge

WWMT-TV reports that authorities believe the Masonic Lodge, which is home of the secret society called Freemasons, has been used for such activities before and are working to shut the operation down.

Police sources told WWMT that officers found a 'drug-fueled sex party' in the building and sent the revelers home.



The Battle Creek Freemasons refused to comment on camera for the TV station, but insisted that the orgy was not part of the secret society's rituals. They said the party was not sponsored by their group at all.

Instead, they say, a party promoter paid $900 to rent the space for the night.



'Charlie' a Freemason spokesman, said the man renting the lodge told the Freemasons he would be hosting a dance party.



The Freemasons said they checked on the party about 1am on Sunday and found nothing suspicious.



The Freemasons are a secret society, though they claim their group had nothing to do with the party and that they only rent the space to a party promoter

However, when officers arrived a little more than an hour later, they found debauchery, police sources told WWMT.



City officials say they are considering fines and charges, both against the party promoters and the Freemasons who own the building.

The report from WWMT does not specify whether drugs were found or seized.



A summary of a police report printed in the Battle Creek Enquirer newspaper mentions only the naked women dancing on stage. Police said they told the women to dress and to leave the premises.
