1Opinion of the Court
NEBEKER, Associate Judge:
On February 16, 1973, appellees were charged in separate informations with attempted sodomy in violation of D.C.Cole 1973, §§ 22-103 and 22-3502. The trial court granted appellees’ motions to dismiss the informations, ruling that the acts alleged in the informations were engaged in by consenting adults in the privacy of closed cubicles or rooms in the Regency Health Club and thus were outside the proscription of the sodomy statute. This appeal followed, and the government has moved for summary reversal. We grant the motion and reverse.
