Porn Valley- I spoke to Autumn Rayne this morning. The D.A. tells her that he’s also trying to get Steve Strong from Ebony and Ivory on a variety of sexual crimes including sexual assault and battery charges because of the fact that Rayne wasn’t paid. The D.A.’s also going to make Strong test for HIV, considering that he had been presenting fraudulent tests.

Besides the girl from Queens who had stepped forth to say that Strong had also clipped her for a $2500 check there was another girl in the adult industry who had a similar story about Strong. I had passed her e-mail on to Rayne who has attempted to contact her but unsuccessfully. I tell Rayne I suspect she got cold feet all of a sudden. “That’s what I’m wondering, too,” says Rayne. “Gosh, I hope not. Because they can’t hurt her. He’s in jail and unless more people come forward, he could bond out. I need her. And I tried to explain that to her that nothing was going to happen to her. This guy is facing life right now as it is.”

I ask Rayne about another guy in Kansas named Trent [email protected] who contacted her and wants to “interview” her for a video. The interview, according to Rayne, would involve her performing various sex acts, ala Regan Senter, to see if they like what she can do. If so, she’d get a contract. Rayne was told she’d be paid $3500 for her first scene. “I know it’s bullshit,” says Rayne.

“Oh, boy, I’ll be a contract girl in Kansas, in tornado alley!” I hasten to remind Autumn not to look a gift horse in the mouth that she could attend all the cornfield openings and be the grand marshal in the parade of fire trucks.
