I don't see any such implication. Sirguym, from what I recall about the incident last year, I think you may well be confusing the owners of the place who rented it out to the Madam with others who might have patronized it. Of course some Orthodox Jews forsake or wink at their beliefs to satisfy sexual or emotional urges whether straight or kinky. Just as members of many other religious groups do. We all have powerful urges and lots of ways to justify them. But for the owners who have no such interests or cravings, there would be a deep need to cleanse the place spiritually before using it for religious purposes or to house students. Much the way, at the time of the original events commemorated at Hannukah, the temple which had been used by Greeks needed to be spiritually cleansed before being used again. There's no reason to believe the owners were repressed or in the closet, or using the services of the expensive and upscale Domme. While there were, given the location, probably lots of secular Jews using the services, doubt many were Orthodox.
