- The 30-year-old's neighbors claim that the business is damaging their neighborhood as strange men are hanging around the streets

A dominatrix who spent $15,000 creating a dungeon in her home claims she is being hounded out by disapproving neighbors who say the business attracts 'sickos' to the area.
Charlotte Taillor, 30, has given over two floors of her townhouse in the Bed-Stuy region of Brooklyn, New York, to her BDSM parlour.
She claims the dungeon has a strictly 'no sex' policy and is simply about being kinky and having fun, however, her neighbors aren't happy about the disruption.
Charlotte's neighbors claim her business is damaging the area and that strange men are constantly hanging around in the street.
The 30-year-old says her customers are being harassed - and has no option but to move home.
She said: 'This isn't a sex club like what some of the neighbors are suggesting. Sex never happens here, this is just a place to be kinky and have fun.
'We're all about empowerment and people being free to express their kinks.
'We primarily teach men and women about BDSM and how to better understand their lovers and themselves, but we're being labelled as perverts for that.
'I've spent $15,000 on this dungeon and moving is not going to be easy,' she added.
Charlotte explained that her dungeon contains a number of items including a throne, a crucifix and 'hundreds of sex toys'.
She said, despite already kitting the dungeon out, if her neighbors don't want her there, she will have to leave.
One of Taillor's biggest critics is her neighbor Laurie Miller, 58, who has lived in the Bed-Stuy region of Brooklyn for more than 40 years.
She said: 'This is a residential street and now we have weirdos and perverts hanging around the block waiting to go in there for whatever it is they do.
'I don't care how people get their kicks, they can swing from the ceilings for all I care but I don't want a business like this on the street where I live.
'It may be a prejudice of mine, but once this doesn't get them off, what are they going to do, snatch a kid or a woman off the street?

She added: 'I mean some of these guys are really creepy-looking and that's what really bothers me.
'Some of them send your spidey senses tingling, so I just have one thing to say to Miss Taillor and that is Bye Felicia,' Laurie added.
Taillor moved to the neighborhood in December 2018 with the hope of building a community centered around a kinky culture.
But tensions quickly escalated and she has now resigned herself to leaving the neighborhood.
She said: 'It's such a shame because we love our neighbors and want to be a part of any community we are in.
'Last year we held a 'Spanksgiving' event and so many people came along to find out what we are about.
'I just wish the members of this community would come along to see what we do instead of leaving threatening notes on our door and yelling at my customers forcing us to cancel workshops.
'Many of the classes we teach are donation based - it's just for women who want to find out more about their sexuality,' she added.
But Laurie, who Taillor claims regularly yells at her customers and scares them away, has said she will not stop until the dungeon is gone.
'As far as I'm concerned this will all be over when she gets off our block,' Laurie said.
'Until then I'll be letting the sickos know that they are not welcome here,' she added.
Charlotte launched a Go Fund Me account to help with her moving costs.
She says that generous subs and doms from around the world have already donated over $5,000 to help her pay for a new dungeon in another neighborhood.
