Durban police this week uncovered an Internet sex ring by accident - a few floors above a police station.
Metro Police were attending to an attempted suicide on the eighth floor of Nichol Square Building in Monty Naicker (Pine) Street when a scantily clad woman emerged from a doorway to see what the commotion was about.
Behind the nondescript door with its heavy security gate was a set of stairs. With no air conditioning, the "office" was hot, but not as steamy as the action inside the 30-odd cubicles.
Superintendent Wiseman Mchunu said the police had found young women playing with sex toys in front of cameras.

"It is the first time we have come across anything like this," Mchunu said.
Captain Kacey Naicker said when police saw the negligee-clad woman, they decided to investigate, but were shocked by the scene awaiting them.
"We saw things [sex toys] that I did not know existed," he said.
In the cubicles were attractive young women in various stages of undress, acting out the fantasies of men thousands of kilometres away.
Each room was equipped with computers, webcams (in various positions) and a double bed.
For a few hundred dollars, sex-starved men could watch the women "perform" and interact via their own web recorders.
To save the less attractive clients' feelings, notices taped next to the beds warn the girls not to say anything like, "he's old, bald, fat or ugly" out loud, as the clients might be able to hear them.
While pornography is not illegal in South Africa, the business - believed to be owned by two Israelis in Johannesburg - is not licensed and isn't registered with the South African Revenue Service or the Film and Publication Board.
Police said they were closing down the operation until the paperwork was in order and the company had complied with health and safety regulations.
