I was under the impression that .org sites were non-profit outfits, like
churches, civic organizations, etc. This is the second time I've heard of a
.org site being a porno site. What goes on?

I do know that there are porno outfits that look for innocent-sounding
domain names that have let their registration lapse and then buy up the
registration. That gives them many free links to their site from
unsuspecting people. When the original owner complains, the porno outfit
offers to sell the domain name back, at a large profit. Is that what has
happened here?
