This emporium for girls and women — some under age or forced into prostitution — is in turn owned by an opaque private company called Village Voice Media. Until now it has been unclear who the ultimate owners are.
That mystery is solved. The owners turn out to include private equity financiers, including Goldman Sachs with a 16 percent stake.
Goldman Sachs was mortified when I began inquiring last week about its stake in America’s leading Web site for prostitution ads. It began working frantically to unload its shares, and on Friday afternoon it called to say that it had just signed an agreement to sell its stake to management.
Isn't Westword affiliated with the Village Voice too? They also seem to have a lot of escorted ads too. I like WW but it seems like most of their advertisers are pot shops and escorts too.

Yes, WestWord is part of the Under Age Prostitution website company.
