Actor Rob Lowe’s insurance company says his home and personal liability insurance policy doesn’t cover sex tapes, and it wants a judge to free it of any obligation for claims if Lowe has to pay damages in a lawsuit over his alleged videotaping of a sex act involving a teen-age girl. Chubb Custom Insurance Co. of New Jersey filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, saying Lowe’s policy doesn’t cover “intentional actions” such as using “celebrity status as an inducement to females to engage in sexual intercourse, sodomy and multiple party sexual activity for his immediate sexual gratification and for the purpose of making pornographic films.”
