I personally do not believe this guy. The last place to bring this thing is here, it's as beleivable as Pathfinders death.
But remember if you feel this is such a bad industry for girls to get into and the girls are too weak to say no, used and abused. Then everytime you post a picture you are betraying yourself and your principles. Go drive a taxi.
I've probably shot more girls here than anyone and can personally say that the girls that get fucked by the business do exist, but most of them were fucked up before they got into it.
And as for hitting on models, fine so long as no force is applied. Let's face it if guys did not hit on girls they would be working in Kay-Mart.

I'm actually quite shocked too and (shocked) I agree with Paul here. Not all photographers are predators, not all internet models do hardcore, there are no absolutes. I am a photographer.. I like and respect the girls I work with (even the flakes), and although I've heard horror stories from some of them about how they've been treated, for the most part it's all on the up and up. I am totally amazed when I hear all these people talking about all the creeps out there.. well fuck, send your models to someone like myself (a woman). There are a TON of great female photographers out there. And people who are REPUTABLE. If the girls are working with slimebags and they don't get out, honestly they're bringing it on themselves. Not much you can do is going to change their cycle of abuse, and they are going to go out and seek it. Porn is a tough business, it's competative... It DOES require the girls to be strong. But then again, look at girls like Jenna. She's amazingly intelligent, she's straight up and she takes her business seriously. She's a CONTINUING success. It doesn't ALWAYS end up badly. Although I find it funny the VAST majority of the people who are saying "models are abused blah blah blah" are not involved in the production end of the business. THere are some bad apples out there, yes, they get known pretty fast. The girls who go to them go in with their eyes open, more often than not, and honestly, they can't blame anyone but themselves.
With all the women I see who apparently haven't 'caved' into doing harder stuff, there are 10 more girls who will WILLINGLY do it. Big whoop.
