Sometime in the early 2010s, the porn actor James Deen made a film with a fan whom he called Girl X. He would do this now and then; fans would write to him, wanting to have sex with him, or he would put out a call to “Do a Scene with James Deen”, and the results would go up on his website.
In an interview in May 2017, only a few months before the media would be overwhelmed with discussions of assault and harassment by Harvey Weinstein and others – and only two years after Deen himself was accused of (but not charged with) multiple assaults (which he denied) – he said: “I have a ‘Do a scene with James Deen’ contest, where women can submit an application, and then, after a very long talk and months of me saying, you know, ‘Everyone’s going to find out, it’s going to affect your future’, and trying to talk them out of it kind of, then we shoot a scene.”

Subscriber only CHILDREN S charity founder-turned pornographer and domestic violence offender Conan Visser is facing a fresh legal battle over an alleged lottery scam. Visser will front court in April following an investigation by the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation over claims his charity sold raffle tickets for a luxury car that was never delivered. The domestic violence offender has claimed to be winding up his anti-bullying charity, I Can I Will, which once drew the endorsement of celebrities like Tammy Hembrow and Jeff Horn. The Courier-Mail revealed in October that Visser was being investigated by the OLGR over a failed car lottery that was supposed to have raised money for the charity.
