County Shuts Down Swingers Club in Home Owned by Former Mokena Businessman
Will County has squashed a swingers club based out of a Beecher home owned by Mark Ferrari, former owner of now-defunct Mokena sports bar and restaurant The Colosseum, Chicago Tribune reports.

A swingers club operating out of the foreclosed home of a former Mokena business owner is no more, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Police reportedly found a "dungeon room," sex swings and a mini-orgy room in "Club Erotica," inside the Beecher home owned by Mark Ferrari, once-owner of now-defunct The Colosseum in Mokena.
Club Erotica, with the motto "If it feels good, do it," held themed sex parties with food and musical laser-light shows for about six months in the rural, cabin-style home, which was filled with taxidermied animals, records show.
