in a brothel, yet still deny that he was running a brothel? I thought it was a Zumba studio...

(Next question is "what the heck is a Zumba Studio?" but I guess I can google that.)

I feel really uncomfortable with this ruling: it seems to me that an expectation of privacy ought to derive from the place you're in, and whether it is generally a private place. what you're doing in that place doesn't seem relevant.
