Any or all of the following codified in the Virginia Criminal Code could have legal

implications for those involved in swingers' club activities in the commonwealth:

(in my opinion):

Section !8.2-344---Fornication--";Any person, not being married,, who voluntarily shall have sexual intercourse with any other person, shall be guilty of fornication, punishable as a Class 4 misdemeanor".

Section 18,2-346---Prostitution, commercial sexual conduct, etc.

Section 18.2-347---"Keeping, residing in, or frequenting, a "bawdy place",

statutorily defined as "any place within or without any building or

structure which is used for lewdness, assignation, or prostitution".

Section 18.2--348---Aiding prostitution or illicit sexual intercourse, etc,

Sections 18.2--355 & 357.1--Human trafficking and commercial sex

trafficking

Section 18.2--361--Crimes against nature, aka bestiality.

A. "If any person carnally knows in any manner any brute animal or

voluntarily submits to such carnal knowledge, he is guilty of a Class 6

felony".

The above offenses upon conviction carry penalties ranging from

various classes of misdemeanors to Class 3 felonies.
