US man convicted over child sex club

A jury has found a man guilty of grooming children as young as 5 to perform sex shows at a swingers club in Texas.

Patrick "Booger Red" Kelly was convicted of engaging in organised criminal activity after jurors deliberated about two hours. He faces a possible life sentence.

Prosecutors alleged Kelly was a member of the so-called Mineola Swinger's Club, though the 41-year-old Kelly has testified he is innocent.

They contended Kelly helped set up a "kindergarten" where young children learned to dance provocatively.

Prosecutors say the children were given Vicodin-like drugs to help them perform that the adults passed off as "silly pills."
