Actually, I agree with you... I posted some time ago about a bogus modeling scout we used to use who was guilty of exactly what you said. Our current scouts are all either models or people personally known to us, and we're very clear about boundaries for anyone who is representing our name in any way. When we've talked to other guys who wanted to scout for us, as soon as we mentioned our strict policies, suddenly their interest in scouting for us seems to evaporate

Nonetheless, I have multiple reports from models on at least four or five studios/webmasters, all of which would be names that people here would at least recognize, where the studio owners apparently have sex with their models. None of the cases are as egregious as Dean describes but still in my book inappropriate.

For the record, I have never heard anything negative in this regard about anyone who has posted in this thread thus far.
