The impact statements submitted by the five female porn
performers who worked for Amerca's pimp, Derek Hay all tell you there's a class
action suit in the works.
Hay, 60, is scheduled for sentencing August 2. In late May,
Hay pleaded guilty to felony counts of perjury and conspiracy to commit
pandering as part of a plea agreement in the case against him and two
co-defendants.
Andi Rye [photo], also known as Jane Doe #3, stated that in
2017, she was a “naïve and vulnerable” 24-year-old with cardiac health issues
and medical bills, which influenced her decision to seek employment as a webcam
model. After being scouted online by LA Direct, Rye said she was “led to believe
I could trust Derek and his agency to do the best for my career.”
Rye said she was manipulated into performing extreme sexual
acts that ultimately damaged her mental and physical health. As bookings for
video work declined, she said she was pressured into escorting jobs. Rye said
she believed this was a strategy used on her and other clients of Hay, as part
of a conspiracy to coerce models into escort work.
Her experience with the case, she said, has led to “lifetime
damage,” which included cardiac arrest requiring hospitalization, anxiety,
treatment-resistant depression and PTSD, as well as ongoing “fear of
retaliation” by Hay and his co-defendants.
Fear of retaliation was a common thread in each of the five
actresses’ stories. Rye described an interview she gave to promote a content
scene for director Pierre Woodman. Encouraged to be as “depraved” as possible
during the interview, her quotes were later used to mock and bully her on
social media, after she joined the labor violations case.
Woodman has been linked to an ongoing case in Europe
involving a director who sexually abused and trafficked women for prostitution.
