Undercover detectives arrested over a dozen men for allegedly committing lewd sexual acts inside a Hollywood adult store.
Officers raided the Pleasure Emporium on Wednesday evening and arrested a total of 13 subjects, ranging in age from 33 to 65 years old, after an anonymous complaint was called into Hollywood Police about lewd activity taking place.
Once inside, undercover detectives discovered the men in different stalls located inside the store – some performing sex acts on each other while others were found performing acts on themselves.
"They found patrons, customers, in one part of the business performing sexual acts," Hollywood Police spokeswoman Miranda Grossman said.
All were charged with indecent exposure or lewd and lascivious acts. Police arrested six people in February for similar charges.
"You know, it's a place of business and you shouldn't have to also be there and have to be there worried about people exposing themselves and performing sex acts," Grossman said.
