An arts body is under investigation after allocating £85,000 in funding for a project involving 'hardcore' sex performances. The controversy has escalated with claims that the Scottish government quango inadvertently funded a pornographic film without properly vetting the filmmaker's background in relation to children and sex toys, with a critic mockingly summarizing the oversight. Further reports indicate that the project, described as featuring 'hardcore sex acts', sought porn-experienced sex workers for roles in a 'secret cave sex party'. Criticism has intensified as some sources allege that the amount of public money used to fund this 'harmful and abusive' film project amounts to almost £110,000.
