Grover Browning, a senior network analyst at Indiana University-Indianapolis, appears to have carried on a sexual relationship with local Indianapolis prostitute Meghan Clark for at least two years, according to his public profile on the fetish social media and pornography site, Fetlife. Clark and Browning appear to have carried on a sexual relationship that involved a social work student during that time as well, who will be kept anonymous. Their relationship also involved hosting and attending parties which involved prostitution.

Their relationship with the student
According to their respective profiles on Fetlife, Browning (@100PercentCale) and Clark (@Sassafrasgirl) are in a relationship, whereas Browning is “pony” of the student, which may indicate a type of sexual relationship. The student, however, denies this. Clark’s profile also stated she is “being served by” the student (@tAllyHo), which also may indicate a type of sexual relationship, and the student’s profile says she is a “thing of” both Browning and Clark.
Browning and Clark can be seen engaging in group sexual acts and are otherwise pictured with the student in photos going back to 2022.
IU policy
IU has a relatively stringent policy banning sexual relationships between staff and students when the staff member “has, or might reasonably be expected to have, responsibility for administering any aspect of the student’s educational progress or experience,” because of the power imbalance that would entail as well as other concerns. While Browning does not directly oversee any part of the School of Social Work, the University Information Technology Services likely contributes to all “student’s educational progress or experience.”
Clark’s prostitution and BDSM parties
Clark was the co-founder of INKink, a BDSM sex club that The Indiana Commons recently discovered had covered up a rape confession. Clark left the organization several years before the incident, but she continued working as a prostitute, being listed on several escort sites.
Clark continues to regularly host BDSM sex parties at various locations in the city, including most recently at Waterman’s Family Farm, where she claimed on Fetlife she would “private message” the attendees. During past events at “the Farm,” as it is known, @tAllyHo may have been used by Clark as a sexualized centerpiece.
Waterman’s Family Farm claimed to be unaware of what was happening at the events.
For a time, Clark was also on the leadership board of subSpace, another local BDSM club that The Indiana Commons recently discovered had covered up a rape, but left after an incident where the owner, Patrick Sullivan, punched a wall in anger.
Despite bans being one of the few methods these venues use to prevent rapists and abusers from returning to prey on more victims, Clark made it clear in one of her posts that she permitted several of the people banned by subSpace to attend her parties.
An individual confessed to a rape at one of Clark’s parties this February.
Most of the advertising for these parties is done on Fetlife, which has faced controversy in the past for its ties to illicit sexual activity. The site hosted an “Abduction 101” forum which a man visited prior to abducting, raping, and murdering an Illinois college student named Yingying Zhang in 2017.
Clark and Browning changed their names on FetLife to @PiperPretty and @SuggestStrong respectively after this article was published.
This investigation was completed with the assistance of Real News Michiana. Several tips were utilized as sources in the article, and are the sources of most of the images.
NOTE: The article was updated on Aug. 5 to add a link to the word “pony,” with a definition provided as to why it may refer to a sexual relationship, and the phrase “which refers to” was changed to “may refer to a sexual relationship” to provide further evidence of the claims listed in this article. It was also updated to reflect the fact that the student denied certain aspects of the relationship with Browning. The word “group” was also added elsewhere.
