However the affiliate link goes to a site promoting sex toys, gay sites, etc. Worst yet they are advertising other affiliate programs like Adam & Eve, Adult Friendfinder etc.

They show as having 0 sales in the last 60 days. It seems to me that they are stealing affiliate traffic and directing it to their own programs.

Does ShareASale regularly check merchant links to see that this type of fraud is not done?

It says that the last compliance check was 05/07/2004 but that is also the date the program became active

Has anyone else experienced this with other programs? IE The program gets affiliates and then changes their site to steal commissions from the traffic generated by affiliates?
