On her website, self-proclaimed dominatrix Judith DeLucenay promises customers they will reach their “pain threshold” while being subjected to activities such as flogging, torture, electrical stimulation and corporal punishment.
Those fetish activities are conducted in DeLucenay’s “dungeon” in Orlando, according to the online advertisement, which reportedly includes a cage in the backyard.
The website shows a photograph of a home on Grant Street, a residential area in the city’s SoDo neighborhood located a few blocks west of Boone High School.
Now, as a result of neighbor complaints and a Local 6 investigation, Orlando’s code enforcement division and Central Florida’s vice squad have launched their own investigations into the business, which does not have a home occupational license.

There are no laws in Florida that prohibit consenting adults from hiring a dominatrix for services as long as there is no sexual contact that might constitute prostitution, according to law enforcement officials.
DeLucenay’s website warns potential customers “DO NOT ASK FOR SEX,” explaining that she will “never perform illegal sexual acts.”
The Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation, which focuses on vice-related offenses such as prostitution and illegal adult entertainment, announced that it was investigating DeLucenay’s business after Local 6 inquired about the Orlando woman’s website. A representative for the multi-agency task force did not elaborate on what concerns it may have.
DeLucenay’s home on Grant Street sits less than a half-mile from Boone High School. An MBI representative was not immediately able to say whether a dominatrix business would fit the legal definition of an “adult entertainment establishment,” which is prohibited by Florida law from being within 2,500 feet of a public or private school. …
