Controversial erotic convention moves to Edison
A three-day erotic convention scheduled to take place in Secaucus this weekend was moved to Edison after Mayor Dennis Elwell threatened to sue.
The convention will now be held at the Raritan Center, a move Edison Mayor Jun Choi will apparently not prevent. News 12 New Jersey was told, however, that Edison's attorneys tried finding a way to stop the convention, which promises wet t-shirt contests, porn stars and exhibits featuring adult toys.
Mayor Choi says he would rather the convention didn't take place in Edison, but it's a free country.
