  There's HTML code that can be embedded in a page that says, roughly,
"tell the browser to go to this other site".

  How would such a page have "appeared" at that URL?  Two possibilities
spring to mind:

1. When a web page is "hacked", files on the server are
replaced/modified from outside.  This makes news often enough to
indicate that web servers are rarely as secure as people think.  It
might be relatively easy for some hacker somewhere to do this.

2. I believe I saw a report recently that porn site operators were
buying up "defunct" domain names, in order to pull in people who use
(have, share) out-of-date links.  If the people who had registered
gorospe.com have not paid the renewal fee -- for whatever reason,
including possibly going out of business -- then that domain may belong
to the porn site's operator now.
