Through the efforts of Jake Adelstein's (The ass-prick who wrote Tokyo Vice) Lighthouse and the NGO "Human Rights Now" they've managed to get almost 2 dozen models to come forward with claims of being forced/coerced to do AV. The first model came back to Av several times having shot more than 400 movies. Her case was more related to new boyfriend no-likey. The other girls, could very well be true. Probably is true.
This affects the entire business as agencies, soaplands, everyone is under fire. There is no censored and uncensored agency differentiation only models who will and will not shoot uncensored.
There are even calls for studios to
relinquish their copyrights after just a few years, meaning the videos go away. Except for pirate sites.
Their is also a call for and some production companies, and some are doing it now to their regret, to have a recap of the shoot and a signing of a new document by the models saying they agree to everything to be shot on the day. This doc was already done before shoot day but the NGO's know that some girls will get cold feet and say fuck it and leave set.
People should be careful of folks who claim all is well or just a bump in the road. If you are planning to head to Japan and try and shoot...think twice. Good chances it won't be a happy ending. Shooting might be ok, maybe. But getting the content out...is a whole other story.
