Dominatrix, city reach agreement
 

(SF)

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 19 An Indianapolis dominatrix has agreed not to practice her activities in her home and won't face a fine, the city attorney's office said.

The agreement, which will be filed in Marion Superior Court, ends a lawsuit brought against Melyssa Donaghy in 2005, the Indianapolis Star reported Wednesday.

The home in which Donaghy was accused of operating a "dungeon," is within walking distance of a Roman Catholic church and its parish school as well as Girls Inc., a program that aids girls plan for successful futures.

Donaghy, is claiming victory, she told the Star, because while officials alleged clients paid to take part in sex-related torture, they never proved illegal actions.

"If I want to teach someone how to properly kneel or crawl on the floor, I can do that," said the 45-year-old Donaghy, who also is a property tax activist. "I don't have the desire to do that professionally anymore."

THUD!


That's a very exciting ruling, because I've just recently realized that I do not know how to properly kneel OR crawl on the floor and this is a situation that must be corrected.
