Controversies

On January 27, 2006, Fort Bragg (North Carolina) announced that it had become aware that some of the men involved in the website were from the 82nd Airborne Division.[4] A local news station, WRAL, briefly mentions a Dink Flamingo and Active Duty as a part of a possible criminal investigation by military authorities.[5]

On February 24, 2006, Fort Bragg issued a press release stating that seven men had been charged with violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice for the crime of sodomy and engaging in sexual conduct on a pornographic website.[6] All of the men charged were identified by military investigators as performing on the Active Duty porn site.[7]

In 2009 Active Duty formally requested a news article be rescinded because it possibly provided the actual name of an active duty service member. It was later learned that the performer had been honorably discharged from the military before starring in an Active Duty film.[8]

In 2011 a blog and video posting by Amateur Straight Guys shows a performer allegedly stealing money from its employer. The producer, Doug DeLong, also mentions that the employee was hired knowingly having a drug addiction.
