In a fit of boredom, mostly out of angst of not wanting to know what new insecurities and regrets I'll end up acquiring in the next semester, I went through some of the old porno sites that I used to go to back when I was in so much heat you could cook a steak on me to well-done status in about 3 seconds. Much to my surprise, it would appear that one of them is in some legal heat.
According to this message on their video preview and ordering area, one of their well-equipped twinks failed to supply three valid forms of age identification as required by the company, and possibly by law given the business. It is assumed that he is underage, and the company is having trouble verifying what his age is given this fact. The message itself is kind of hard to understand as it is writing in lawyer terms, but it appears that this has been going on since September of 2005.
Now, according to the article linked in the message, the young man in the case was underage by a whole year. He obtained a fake ID and became an underage porn star. From there, it's another "He said; She said" arguments that can only be settled in court.
Since the September announcement, all of the videos with this guy in them have been pulled from the market in case they did film a minor in pornographic settings.
I haven't been to that particular site since the start of the Fall Semester if not earlier. I pretty much accepted sometime then that the boys in most porns that I find appealing are pretty much non-existent in real life (however, it was fun to believe that there was that rare chance that they do exist outside of the Adult Entertainment industry). Still, to learn about it is quite a shock. These kind of things you would think only happen in the movies and in television dramas. If they do happen, they normally are stopped before the tapes are released. Or at least I would hope.
Still, another side of me is wondering why the kid did it to begin with. I mean, there are other ways of making a porno rather than lying about your age. It's called "Getting your parents camera and filming it yourself in your bedroom while they are away." I bet you anything some high school kid with raging hormones right now is filming himself masturbating. And yet there are kids out there that feel the need to lie about their age just to do the same thing?
It's the money. I know it's all about the money.
Oh well, all I know is that the damage has been done, and the best anyone that cares can hope for is that everything works out.
Dear God, that sounded apathetic.
