Sex-shop busts called 'politics'

The Utah Doll House reportedly has a license in Park City, but state law requires escort businesses to be licensed in each county in which they operate. McCullough said it's just a misunderstanding that will be cleared up in court.

Police found camera equipment, computers, cash, receipts and a handgun inside the apartment and seized the Utah Doll House's client list. McCullough said he filed an action in court against Cottonwood Heights Thursday to make sure the client list does not get out.

"If they are doing anything whatsoever to try and expose our customer list, we want it blocked and we want it blocked immediately," McCullough said.

Miller said the client list will not be released to anyone, as the list is evidence she plans on using in a criminal case against the owner of the Utah Doll House. Several cities have Miller on contract to prosecute crimes. Her law firm, Miller and Miller, contracts with Holladay, Taylorsville, West Jordan and Cottonwood Heights.

In related news, a blog posting on the Utah Doll House's Web site urges readers to call Salt Lake Mayor Rocky Anderson and "let him know you don't think busting escorts in hotel rooms serves the people of this great community to the best of his and the police department's ability."

As of late Friday afternoon, not one person had called the mayor's office, said Patrick Thronson, the mayor's spokesman.

"The mayor believes that existing laws against escort services should be vigorously enforced, particularly since many women involved in escort services are exploited," Thronson said.
