In 1975, there was a private party at Mark IV to benefit the Gay Community Services Center which included a mock slave auction. As the first volunteer was “sold” 105 LAPD officers, helicopters and dozens of squad cars surrounded the bathhouse. There was a busload of arrestees. Forty men were booked on a 1871 statute for trafficking in human slaves, a felony. Morris Kight rallied the troops at Troupers Hall in Hollywood where Troy Perry raised money for the arrestees defense by defiantly auctioning off more volunteers. Politicians renounced the LAPD’s actions and they were cowed.
