SEFFNER, Fla. -- Four people have been charged in connection with converting a two-story house in Hillsborough County into a swingers club.

A sheriff's office report says a six-week investigation determined that the home was being used as a swingers club in Seffner, about 13 miles northeast of Tampa.

Investigators say all three bedrooms were lined wall-to-wall with beds. The living room had a dancing pole, a spanking table and large televisions playing adult pornographic films.

Owners and operators Steven Bowers, 56, and his wife, Cynthia Lynn Bowers, 55, both of St. Petersburg, plus an Orlando couple, Ricky Zabala, 55, and his wife, Pamela Zabala, 54, who ran the club when the owners were away, were arrested.
