This whole thing is idiotic. The lying producers are assholes. The women are idiots for trusting anything told to them in this context by complete strangers motivated only by money. In the words of Shakespeare, "all are punished". >“These are millennial women who grew up with the internet – they knew the consequences of pornographic videos ending up online which is why they asked where the videos were going before they were lied to." I'm not sure they did, really. That last sentence should end with "knew the consequences of pornographic videos ending up online which is why they wisely chose not to risk doing porn." Maybe college should teach mandatory classes on risk management. >Her life, she says, is irrevocably changed, and her hopes of a legal career have been ended. “I do not want a career as an attorney. My name is completely destroyed.” I hope somebody explains to her this isn't necessarily true. There are places and firms in the country more sex-positive and/or forgiving where this won't destroy her life and she can still be an attorney. She also pretty much has a ready made career as an attorney focusing on sex-trafficking and similar fields.

I hope you don't have kids. 18 year olds do dumb things. They're legally adults but neurologically speaking that's questionable. My wife was still reeling from an abusive and sexually exploitative relationship and trying to survive when she was tricked into making porn under the guise of auditioning for an off-camera job. Glad to know you think she's an idiot. Class act there buddy.

  >My wife was still reeling from an abusive and sexually exploitative relationship and trying to survive when she was tricked into making porn under the guise of auditioning for an off-camera job. Of all the women who do porn, what proportion do you believe are doing it for similar reasons as your wife - last resort and survival, vs what proportion do you believe are doing it for the combination of fast/easy money + superficial fame + taboo thrills? The former are sympathetic. The latter not so much.

  What kind of job requires a pornographic audition? Most 18 year olds I knew when I was 18 would've laughed at the idea.

  There is a huge difference between a hidden cam and industrial-grade studio shooting. I don’t think gp meant or knew anything about your case. If it is dumb, subj is orders of magnitude dumber, to the extent that it seems simply unbelievable and suspicious. Also, you say “18 year olds do dumb things” and then shame gp for “thinking she's an idiot”. It seems you’re overreacting and taking it personal when it doesn’t even relate. We skeptics have a right of voice too.

  > They're legally adults but neurologically speaking that's questionable Adolescence has been recently extended to 20-something years. I think this is still not enough, looking at myself 30 years back and looking at my children and their friends.

It's almost like there are people who have developed an ability to trick people into doing things that they wouldn't normally do via some sort of plan of deception. But we know that can't possibly be true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick

The vast majority of business decisions are between strangers motivated by money. We have a justice system to prevent fraud just like this. You seem to have a very simplistic view of society.
