Paris is waging war on a depraved sex club accused by neighbours and officials of glorifying gang rape.

Police had managed to bring a halt to the orgies in the city's 15th arrondissement, which saw groups of men pay £60 to have sex with one woman in an underground 'headquarters' beneath luxury apartments.

But organisers have merely moved their 'events' around the city - including a recent 'sex party' that involved a staged abduction of a woman who was stripped, handcuffed and taken to a waiting group of men for sex.

The parties, boasting 'tailor-made libertine events' in which crowds of men each pay 80 euros (£60) to have group sex with a woman, are legal. But French police banned the subterranean premises, a former car park, from hosting the public last month after refusing a request for an accessibility exemption.

The group vowed to 'continue ... but differently' in a pledge to reportedly thousands of followers, citing a 'small, imposed transformation'.
