Some have objected to my calling Denver porn baron Troy Lowrie a pornographer. Strip clubs aren’t pornographic, some insist. Perhaps not. Even so, a quick visit to the website of Lowrie’s VCG Holding will show you that streaming internet porn is a big part of Lowrie’s business.
The site proclaims itself “the World’s #1 Adult Theater.” Movie categories include: “Genital Punishment,” “Tit Punishment,” “Grannies,” “Midget,” and “Smothering.” Movie titles available for instant viewing include:
Amateur Assault
New Teen Whores
Elastic Assholes
Teenage Gangbang
White Slave Girls
Scream for Mercy
Seducing Grandma
Kitten Gets a Beating
My Teen Swallows
Men in Pain
Baby in Chains
F*ck My Mom
Is this healthy sexuality, or sexuality at all? Much of it can be described accurately as sexualized violence, in my opinion. Keep in mind that depending on jurisdiction it’s unlawful for people under the age of 18 (or 21, depending) to view this material.
Several schools and youth programs have accepted financial gifts from the Lowrie Family Foundation, a private charity that Lowrie funded with a gift of VCG Holding stock in 2007. Since then, the Lowrie Family Foundation has made gifts to:
Girl Scouts of America
Glendale YMCA
Arvada West Football
Mitchell Elementary School
Bell Middle School
I Have a Dream Foundation
YMCA
George Washington High School
Denver Lutheran High School
Douglas County Youth Athletic Club
Golden High School
Rocky Mountain Childrens Foundation
Wiggins High School
This information was disclosed in forms 990 filed by the Lowrie Family Foundation. Click to see full PDFs of these disclosures: 2007, 2008, 2009.
It’s admirable, perhaps, that Lowrie is devoted to “giving back” some of his porn profits to high schools and youth programs. It’s worth pondering, though, what exactly Lowrie takes from the community in the first place.
Disturbing juxtaposition of those two lists, Lisa. Schools so desperate for cash that they accept proceeds from pornographic “teen sex.” Where are the parents?
