Houston's 'robot sex brothel' faces city hurdle: report
Canadian company KinySdollS says the Houston showroom is set to be the first in the U.S. to rent or sell its real-life looking sex robots. The Canadian company looking to open a so-called "robot sex brothel" in Houston reportedly hit a snag during its construction. The Houston Chronicle reported Sunday that city workers noticed that builders did not have certain permits and ordered the project to stop work. Mayor Sylvester Turner said he's not trying to be the "moral police" but this is not the type of business he wants opening in the city. A spokesperson from his office said KinkySDollS must "apply for a demolition permit and submit plans."
