several producers I know take a verbal statement on video, before and after the shoot, as well as scan the check... because while there are very creepy producers, there very creepy models as well. in fact only know 2 or 3 creepy producers, 1 or 2 creepy agents, but 15-20 creepy models.

and it's not rape by any means it's fraud. allegations of rape and fraud are completely separate issues. and you do realize that being a shooter in todays environment automatically make you wrong without any proof in the eyes of society. you can look at your own reaction to the allegations as an example... you are basing you views on internet message board hearsay and making assumptions.

hopefully you'll never be charged and tried on the internet by malicious hearsay.
