This has caused quite a storm. And I will probably be excoriated for this but... during the reading of this thread something kept popping into my mind. Sort of on point as we do not know the facts of this case other than what the papers report. Some years ago a lady by the name of Traci Lords was BIG in the porno industry. She was in it for several years. She produced evidence (and she was attended to by her 25 yr. old boyfriend) that she was legal (and she looked it) so the producers hired her. She was a phenom. Then the day she turned legal she reported that she had been under age all those years (she started at 14 I think). Well, the shit hit the fan in Hollywood. Producers, execs etc. were scared as hell. Not sure of all the fallout, but it was big. They even did a documentary on it. But who manipulated who here? It was no coincidense that she came out on her 18th birthday. She used "the system" very artfully. What was her motive? I don't know. Was she abused? I don't think so (she did come from a broken home). Was she forced? No. Who was at fault here? It goes without saying but I'll say it anyway that the manipulation of non consenting minors is not only unconscionable but a crime. Yes, I know, minors, by definition, cannot consent. But still I think this to be an interesting point. I have represented minors in the past and many were 15 going on 50 -- far more sophisticated than many of my 40+ year old girlfriends. I guess I am saying that age per se is very subjective. To try and hold Terb responsible for some fault here seems ludicrous. I think if Terbites honestly review some of the ladies they have seen in the past there might be more than one in their history who may very well have been a minor, notwithstanding what the lady said. Perhaps this alleged fact might be at the source of some of the hysteria going on here.
