Porn Flick Operator Caused Rent Losses Of $100K/Month, Throwing $25M+ In Real Estate Into Foreclosure, Says South Florida Landlord In Lawsuit

In Miami, Florida, Courthouse News Service reports:
  • A South Florida landlord claims he was ruined by pornographic film-makers who rented his house to make a golf-themed porn flick. Raul Quintana says he never would have rented his house to Bangbros.com if he'd known they were going to use it to shoot "Sexing Golfing Experience." Quintana says Bangbros paid him $600 to use his home on Key Largo for a one-day photo shoot. Quintana says the defendants told him they would use the house for "a modeling photo shoot." But Quintana says Bangbros, which operates 17 pornography Web sites, exposed him to ridicule and cost him at least $100,000 a month, as he has "lost the right to rent [his and his family's] units on the island." Before the incident, Quintana says, he had "assets on the island in excess of $25 million in property," all of which is now in foreclosure. He demands damages for fraud, deceptive trade, breach of contract and defamation.
