Boobs on Bikes returning: Porn King – Bay of Plenty Times

Defiant pornographer Steve Crow has vowed to bring Boobs on Bikes back to Tauranga despite council moves aimed at blocking the topless parade.

Note:

CVC Group Ltd, directed by John Malcolm Carr, owns the trademark for “Boobs on Bikes” and Stephen (Steve) Peter Crow, a banned company director who was fined $5000 in the North Shore District Court last year for breaching his four-year ban, is Carr’s ”business partner”. Crow was fined plus ordered to pay court costs for being involved in the management of a porn company – Eden Digital Ltd (In Liq), wholly owned by CVC Group – while being a person prohibited from being a director.

Eden Digital Ltd (In Liq) which was incorporated in April 2008 to hold the license for Erotica Lifestyles Expo, an event promoted by the Boobs on Bikes event, was put into liquidation on 22 November 2011, with an estimated deficit (subject to the cost of liquidation) of $434,000.

Mr John M Carr, who directed the failed company until just two months before it was put into liquidation, is now sole director of Esprit Events Limited (a recently incorporated daughter company of CVC Group Ltd) which now holds the license for the Erotica Lifestyles Expo.

The Bay of Plenty Times reports

Tauranga City Council is proposing to make offensiveness one of the grounds for requiring permission to hold a street parade. But Mr Crow said he would fight the council.

“It won’t make any difference to me whatsoever,” he told the Bay of Plenty Times.

“I will take zero notice of any bylaw they bring in. I’m not vaguely interested in what the Tauranga City Council considers offensive. If they want to waste Tauranga ratepayers’ money, let them. I have plenty of money, I’m happy to fight them.” [Read more...]

Crow represents himself in High Court in sex toy appeal

25 August 2010 Stuff News

Kiwi pornographer Steve Crow turned lawyer for a day in the High Court at Auckland in a scrap over a whopping bill owed to a sex toy and DVD company in Australia.

Calvista Australia Pty, which has an office in Auckland, says it is owed for goods supplied to Crow’s companies in New Zealand. It had earlier won a judgment by default in the Auckland District Court for A$39,897.36 with certain conditions which meant he has to put up the money as security while he continues disputing the case.

RSA diggers blame pornographer Steve Crow for closure of clubrooms

The Last Post has sounded for the battle-scarred New Plymouth RSA club.

The Taranaki Daily News (Wed.10 Feb) has reported that RSA club members are “agreed that what had started the friction [that had led to the closure of the clubrooms] was Steve Crow’s role as a pornographer and his intentions to advertise erotica on a billboard at the RSA site.” 

“Under orders from its national executive, the debt-plagued club which has proudly served old soldiers and their families for more than 90 years ceased trading at midnight on Monday.

It now looks extremely unlikely the Devon St East clubrooms will re-open – and already, fellow chartered club the New Plymouth Club has taken over, offering all 1000 RSA members full access to its Gill St premises.”

Good News: Steve Crow – his porn empire shrivels

Media Release: 11 July 2009 (updated)

No. 1 Story http://business.scoop.co.nz/2009/07/13/update-on-steve-crow-and-porn-empire-collapse/

“I’m quite happy for you to call me a pornographer [and] a sleazeball, whatever you want to call me. But keep it factual.” Steve Crow (Quoted in NZ Listener 2004).

FOUR of Steve Crow’s porn companies of which he was sole director have gone belly up. Critics of his hard-core putrid porn promotion will be crowing loudly, but creditors, including about 30 New Zealand companies, will not be. The shrivelling of his now anaemic porno empire has left him impotent he claims to recompense any of his many unsecured creditors who are owed at least $714,000. In addition his companies owe at least $323,753 to the IRD. The debt will probably increase once the final liquidator’s reports are completed.

Crow says ‘I don’t have any obligation to recompense creditors of the liquidated companies” (Dominion Post 8/07/09). On TV One’s Close Up “Porn Industry Going Bust?” – he tried to downplay the debts, saying that most of the money was owed to creditors outside New Zealand who were still acting benevolently towards him. Surrounded by busty porn stars and with his new girfriend Rachel Whitewell at his side, his message was – its business or bust!

Lloyd J. Hayward of accountants Meltzer Mason Heath is the liquidator appointed for all of his three failed companies.

The first company, Vixen Direct Ltd, an importer and distributor of hard-core porno sleaze, had its name changed by Crow on 1 May 2009 to Z4K74D Ltd (Co. No. 514464), just before the liquidator was appointed on 27 May 2009. [Read more...]
