Plot thickens in Rialto police sex club case

PLOT THICKENS: The attorney representing a strip club employee accusing Rialto police officers of wrongdoing claims her law office was broken into last week. She says her desk was ransacked and credit cards stolen. Police are investigating. The attorney also noted that her client's home was broken into earlier. "The facts are that the attempted break-in at my client's home happened the day after she reported the police misconduct in this case. Curiously, the break-in at my office happened within days of the filing [the] lawsuit making the papers," Danuta W. Tuszynska told the San Bernardino Sun. In the suit, she claims Rialto police officers had group sex with employees of the Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Club at the police narcotics office and the police union headquarters.
