June 8th was a normal day for mailman Ivan Crisostomo, who was on his regular postal route in South Sacramento, until he came across a distressing scene…
The trouble with porn production is that it often blurs the lines between consent and coercion. How can you know that what you’re watching is consensual?
Bryan Deneumostier posted ads on Craigslist, posing as a bored woman looking for sex. The men who responded had no idea the sexual encounters were filmed.

The 33-year-old persuaded teens to engage in sex acts with him on camera by falsely claiming the encounters were being shot for a porn video he was creating.
“I worked at the front desk of a brothel, and the sex buyers wanted exactly what was in porn. They would complain to me if they did not get it.”
