Shit, she even kept a "cover your ass" journal. You don't keep those unless you know you're doing something wrong.

I think thats correct. And she will be the first to flip. And she can probably do the most damage to the other defendants.

Part of me wonders is this an assault on the industry or really just a case of where GDP was 1) really egregious here, allegedly operating a complex conspiracy involving fake modeling agencies, fake models paid to represent fictitious videos they made, making models sign modeling contracts under duress, plying them with drugs and alcohol, keeping them locked in hotel rooms while being coerced into doing scenes they didn't want to do or they wouldn't be paid and 2) GDP getting a lot of press sensationalized the case, coupled with the own defendants testimony (holy crap that was dumb!), gave the government an easy case on a silver platter.

They were definitely the most egregious. In 16 years in the industry Ive never heard of a producer going that far. And I actually talked to several of the models over the years that wanted to sue GDP. They were the worst, but there are other producers and agents that arent far behind them. This isnt an isolated situation.

My guess is, if this was "joe blow" doing what GDP is alleged to have done with an iPhone getting this kind of media coverage instead of a commercial porn site, we'd see the same charges.

I think time will tell. There's a reason why the feds are involved and they werent simply prosecuted by the local DA for rape and/or kidnapping.
