The Shriners are an offshoot of Masonry, and they have a 'secret' society called The Royal Order of Jesters. The Jesters in different territories have been caught in various sexual group parties often involving hookers and other things like gambling.
Of course since Masons vow to support each other in a Mafia kind of way, this is allowed to continue.
Also, Masonic closed rank support has the double edge where it supports corruption in Congress. You do not attack or prosecute a fellow Mason. Some of what we suspect is blackmail causing behaviors is really more Masonic-related motivation to not stop a fellow Mason so that you would not be outcast. Masons climb the rank in society through covert support from their comrades; a case of you help me, I help you.
