Sorry...now I'm calling "bullshit" on you. You have no clue what you are talking about.

we're talking late 1980's when porn was still moving from theater screens to home video

Sorry, the "video" revolution started long before that. By 1982 I could easily find porn on the local cable channel, not to mention under my parents' bed. The raincoaters had long since retreated to their own abodes by then.


Quote:

Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Ira Reiner said Friday that his office is not planning to file criminal charges against sex film star Traci Lords, even though she was underage when she made many of her 75 movies and videos.

Reiner, however, said he would press charges against the pornographic film makers who employed Lords, if he could prove that they knew she was not yet 18 when she acted in the sexually explicit productions.

You neglect to mention that Lords' attorney responded (with no refutation from the DA) tha the DA had been speaking off the top of his head. Nor did you mention that the same article pointed out previous calls to the DA in 1984 noting her underage appearance in a magazine, which they never followed up on. And finally, seems Mr. Reiner was incorrect on his 75 films number. IAFD lists 105 titles. It doesn't seem Mr. DA was fully aware of the situation at the time.

Let's get some things straight, bullshitter:

1. TL's birthday is 5-7-68, meaning any scene she shot before 5-7-86 is illegal in the U.S. Of the 105 films listed at IAFD, 15 were produced in 1986. One is confirmed to be legal (Traci I Love You). Of the other 14:
2 are owned by her production co. and were withdrawn from the market. She has acknowledged these publicly;
9 are compilations of previous movies;
1 is almost unknown--P.S. I Love You seems to be add-on footage of the legal vid.

That leaves a miniscule number of "possibly legal" movies, according to your myopic view.

2. The only company who continued to distribute a TL movie was Caballero, who also produced a good 10% of all her releases. Don't you think they would have explicit detail of her real birthdate, to go out and continue to even release 1 of her movies, and scrap the rest? I seems that if they know others of their scenes were legal, they would have continued to pursue those titles with full impunity.

3. You claim all your peeps in PV were shitting their pants over the TL claim. Interesting that only 3 people were ever indicted for child pornography, Jim South and 2 producers of one of her titles. And all the charges were dismissed when TL admitted to the FBI that she had used a forged passport in front of these people.

You claim here just doesn't pass the bullshit test. Too many other people have thought about this issue and concluded differently than you. Or was this majestic message handed to you by the ghost of Jim Morrison flying a UN black helicopter from Area 51?

...you're the guy who can't even figure out what happened to his favorite porn star, right?
