The married couple, Kevin and Sandra Otterson, create their own pictures and videos for the eight-year-old site from their current home in Oregon. Their purchase of a lot in Scottsdale, and their filing of plans to build a house on it has resulted in a mailer this week warning prospective neighbors of the couple’s intentions.
“There is no [adult] studio going in,” Kevin Otterson said. “I’ve never had a studio. [The mailer] made it sound like we hang out with this porn element, and we’re going to be having all these people over. It’s complete nonsense.”
The mailer encourages residents to contact Scottsdale’s Citizen and Neighborhood Resources staff, and was written by an organization called the Northwest Valley Coalition Against Pornography, although the previously unknown group provided no contact information.
“In order to protect your neighborhood and your children it is important that you take action now,” the glossy mailer reads.
Some residents already have responded to the mailer by writing to the city government, asking what they can do to keep the Ottersons from moving in.
“Although I support freedom of speech, as a parent and homeowner in the area, I am concerned that this business would be established or moved to our area,” resident Phil Mihok wrote to the city.
City staff members admit that it is not illegal to operate an online adult business from a home, and Judy Register, manager of Citizen and Neighborhood Resources, said there is nothing her organization or the city of Scottsdale can do to prevent the couple from building a home and moving there.
