Swingers (Documented Record Only)
This section is short because the record is short, and it says so in its own opening: what follows is the whole documented record of swingers clubs, couples' social clubs and private social clubs touching Granger, Indiana — a town in the county whose unincorporated ground is zoned by St. Joseph County, whose newspaper of record is the South Bend Tribune, and whose courts are the county's and the state's. No club, organisation or advertised party circuit on this ground surfaces in any of the record classes named below. That is the finding, printed at the record's size, with the searches shown. No person, venue or address is named in this section on anything less than a collision with the public record, and on Granger ground no such collision exists.
How Large the Social Clubs Record Is
THE WHOLE OF THE RECORD
The floor rule for this section is the discipline this section follows: a section longer than its sources is a failure, not a success. The searches behind it ran across the newspaper record, the reported case law, the directory…
The record classes searched, named
FOUR CLASSES · RUN NOVEMBER 2026
A negative is only as good as the classes named behind it, so the classes are named here in full. First, the searchable newspaper record: the South Bend Tribune, the paper of record for the county, as openly indexed and…
The search under the subject's own names and synonyms — and the pre-first-hit span
SEARCH TERMS: SWINGERS CLUB · COUPLES' SOCIAL CLUB · MEMBERS-ONLY SEX CLUB · PRIVATE SOCIAL CLUB
Each class above was run under the subject's own names and its synonyms: "swingers club," "swingers' club," "couples' social club," "members-only sex club," "private social club," and the category terms "lifestyle club" and…
Collisions with the public record: none on this ground
TESTED NEGATIVE · LANDLORDS · GOVERNMENTS · PROSECUTIONS
Only collisions with the public record are printable facts, and on Granger ground there are none to print. The collision classes were tested one by one. Landlords: no club tenancy, no landlord dispute, no lease, eviction or…
The ordinance course: no ban attempt on this ground; the county's standing provisions, printed whole
ST. JOSEPH COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE · ARTICLE 6, §6.01 · IN FORCE NOVEMBER 2026
No ban attempt exists to carry whole for this ground: no pair of sexually-oriented-business ordinances — summer-2019 or otherwise — was introduced for, aimed at, or passed concerning a swingers club or any sexually oriented…
The state-law line, stated as law — and as a negative
INDIANA CODE § 35-45-1-5 · LONG v. STATE · BROADHACKER v. CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS
The state-law line is stated here as law. Indiana's public-indecency statute, Indiana Code § 35-45-1-5, makes it an offence to appear in a state of nudity in a "public place" or to engage in sexual intercourse or other sexual…
The neighbouring variant's discipline: the state's one reported club case — Indianapolis's, not Granger's
BOUNDARY · INDIANAPOLIS, MARION COUNTY · 864 N.E.2d 372 (2007)
Indiana has one reported club case, and it is Indianapolis's. Broadhacker v. City of Indianapolis, 864 N.E.2d 372 (Ind. Ct. App. 17 April 2007), No. 49A02-0511-CV-1084, is carried here at boundary size and marked as the state's…
The record since, in full — and the closing honesty line
POST-CASE RECORD · COMPLETE, NOT SAMPLED · TO NOVEMBER 2026
The post-case record is printed complete, not sampled, because it is short enough to print whole. Since Broadhacker in 2007: no reported Indiana case has tested a swingers social club against any statute, ordinance or zoning…
