ATLANTA - A 16-year-old girl linked to an illegal sex party took the stand Thursday at the trial of a man accused of organizing live sex shows at a private nightclub. <br>
<br>
Undercover police raided the party this summer when they witnessed lewd sex acts, including the sodomizing of a 16-year-old. The sex show was billed as an ``all-action party'' in advertisements on the Internet. <br>
<br>
Jason Ford, 26, of Eatonton, and Amanda Jones, 30, face charges related to the July 27 incident at Club Zinc. Ford was among those accused of organizing the show. <br>
<br>
The 16-year-old girl testified that she met Ford a few weeks before the sex show and that he was recruiting her for an ``escort business,'' telling her she could make $300 an hour. <br>
<br>
The girl also testified that she and Jones performed a sex act on stage. <br>
<br>
Authorities have dropped disorderly conduct charges against about 100 people arrested in the raid. Officials said people were charged $25 to watch the acts.
