Seattle- Owners of an explicit adult Web site that for three years used the University of Washington as a selling point have taken down overt references to the school, as well as hundreds of photos of nude coeds taken on campus. Potential legal hassles spurred the change, said Brett Jennings, a 25-year-old UW business school graduate and co-owner of the Web site, Dorm Angels, www.dormangels.com.

“It’s not worth being the poster boy for porn in Seattle, or even having to deal with the legal bills associated with it,” Jennings said. Until recently, most of the 50 or so nude models on the site were said to be students at the UW. The site’s title page now bills girls only as being from local colleges. The photos removed were taken at recognizable spots on the UW campus, including the University Quad and inside Suzzallo Library.

Jennings said he removed the UW references after a News Tribune article in September reported that UW administrators had asked the state attorney general’s office to look into legal recourse.
