Adult Webmaster Couple Face Community Harassment

OTTAWA, Canada — Jim and Jenni Deans have lived in a quiet Ottawa suburb for more than 10 years and have operated the amateur adult website TheHiddenWife.com and affiliate program MyWifeBucks.com for three years without incident — or even a single chargeback, they say.

But all that changed recently after a neighbor joined the site, recognized features of the Deans’ home and decided to launch a campaign to harass the couple out of what Jim Deans describes as a postcard-perfect small town.

Soon after issuing a refund to the neighbor, “We received a letter taped to our door stating there was no room for pornographers in this town and calling us perverts,” Deans told XBiz.

Deans said the neighbor also contacted local authorities in the hopes of shutting down his website, but authorities have so not taken any action. In fact, Deans said the police have shown compassion in the face of several disturbing events ranging from hang-up phone calls in the middle of the night to diesel fuel being poured into his hot tub.

Because police have refused to act against the site, the neighbor enlisted the help of a local church group in his crusade, and there have since been leaflets posted around town calling for protests against the Deans.

While Deans told XBiz he would prefer the controversy to quietly go away, both the Ottawa Sun and the Ottawa Citizen have picked up on the story, and Deans said there has been a silver lining — increased traffic.

“Hits from Canada and especially the local Internet provider have skyrocketed,” he said, adding that he and his wife refuse to back down to the challenge.

MyWifeBucks pays out at 50 percent on all initial and recurring sales for the life of the member, with weekly payouts processed by CCBill. The program, which includes both TheHiddenWife.com and ThePantyPage.com, also offers 24-hour real-time stats.
