The company that produced a sex movie at the taxpayer-owed Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum reportedly had a permit, but questions remain about whether producers disclosed the movie was pornographic and who approved the project.
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday the Anabolic Video company obtained a permit but the document didn't state the historic venue – home to the USC football team and where John F. Kennedy accepted the Democratic presidential nomination – would be used for a hard-core sex film.
The newspaper also reported the stadium's governing commission did not approve production on the film.
The stadium is owned by the city, the county and California governments.
The permit was issued by the nonprofit group that handles film shoots for the city and county and lists the coliseum's address as the movie site. The description states the scenes will be "models against scenery" and a "re-enactment of [football] players in practice game." However, about a dozen players have sex with a cheerleader in the movie, according to the newspaper.
The movie was filmed in 2001 and released in 2002, but the report appears to be the latest about the possible mismanagement of the stadium and follows a corruption scandal related to stadium officials.
Two former stadium managers have been indicted on corruption-related charges. The indictments followed more than a year of Times reports on coliseum financial irregularities and lax oversight by the nine-member governing commission, which includes four elected officials.
