A private investigator and former FBI agent alleged he had seen open drug abuse, prostitution, distribution of marijuana and "numerous acts of lewd and lascivious behaviour" at John Issa's Hedonism hotel.
"Five independent, unwitting sources were developed by the investigator," said Attorney Reginald Clyne of Clyne and Associates, representing the defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, where Issa, the SuperClubs chairman, is claiming that he was defamed by e-mails traced to computers originating in that US state.
"These sources reported their observations of these activities to the investigator, corroborating, in detail, acts of prostitution, drug use and distribution and lewd behaviour," said Clyne.
The attorney presented the private eye's report as Issa gave a follow-up deposition in the ongoing lawsuit that began in January this year. He named the investigator as Larry Holifield who spent three
days watching activities at Hedonism, part of the SuperClubs hotel chain.
days watching activities at Hedonism, part of the SuperClubs hotel chain.
"The resort was staffed with uniformed security guards who were able to witness the wide open drug abuse and prostitution. The guards, however, took no action to prevent these illegal activities?" Clyne quoted the former Federal Bureau of Investigation agent as reporting.
"You wanted proof, you wanted a person, I will give it to you," said Clyne, responding to Issa's insistence throughout the deposition that he provided evidence to support his allegations.
