Australian court hands over sex toys to cops

An Australian court has awarded control of sex toys seized from a brothel to the police, but the prosecutor wasn't sure "what police would do with them".

Georgia Nicola, the former manager of Snoopy's brothel, Friday pleaded guilty to running a brothel and living on the earnings of prostitution, Adelaide Now reported.

Adelaide Magistrates Court was informed by prosecutor Henry Cleland that an undercover policeman had entered the brothel in November 2008, and paid Nicola $140. The brothel was raided and cash and "numerous articles to do with sexual acts" were seized.

Cleland asked Magistrate Terence Forrest to direct Nicola to forfeit the items, but said he "did not know what police would do with them".

Nicola was fined $1,000 and ordered to forfeit the sexual items.
