DALLAS, July 27 (UPI) -- A Dallas judge approved a request from officials to shut down a swingers club that had a certificate of occupancy for a church, mosque or synagogue.

Judge Ken Molberg approved the request Tuesday to temporarily close down The Playground, which owner Wyakie Glenn Hudson claims serves as a religious ministry, The Dallas Morning News reported Tuesday.

City attorneys said investigators found no evidence of spiritual or religious activities at the club, where undercover officers witnessed topless dancers and pornographic films being shown on large screens.

An attorney for Hudson, who claims to be an ordained minister, declined to comment.
