Sex toys were also recovered at the scene, local media reports, with Clark also alleged to have defecated on the carpet.
Clark received a suspended three-year prison sentence along with three years of supervised probation and he was also ordered to pay a fine of $1,000 (£870), reports NOLA.com.
Melissa Cheng, 30, and Mindy Dixon, 43, pleaded guilty to the misdemeanour counts earlier this year.

Following the incident, Archbishop Gregory Aymond said the altar was desecrated and ordered it to be burned. Clark was also defrocked by the church.
Aymond said: "His obscene behaviour was deplorable. His desecration of the altar in the church was demonic.
"I am infuriated by his actions."
At a courthouse in the city of Covington, Clark's defence attorney Michael Kennedy said $8,000 (£6,930) had already been paid to the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
In response to the sentencing and the removal of Clark's priesthood, Kennedy stated: "I believe my client is far less likely to find himself in a similar situation ever again.
"Wherever life takes Mr. Clark from here, I hope it finds him well and able to put this fully behind him."
